Experiment Background
|
Mustard is the most important member of the oilseed group, accounting for more than 70 % of the area under rape seed – mustard followed by toria, yellow sarson and brown sarson. Taramira is raised on very poor sandy soils with low rainfall. Mustard and sarson group of plants however are grown both on sandy and heavy soils under irrigated and rainfed conditions. These crops are commonly cultivated in areas of marginal and sub marginal productivity, either mixed or intercropped with wheat, barley, gram, pea, sugarcane, lentil etc. In areas of advanced Agronomy, they are chiefly grown as pure crops. In recent years though there has been an increase in area and production of rapeseed and mustard, the average productivity (800 kg/ha) of the country is quite low in comparison of the developed countries of the west. Mustard seed contains about 38-40 % oil. The seed and oil are used as condiments in the preparation of pickles and for flavoring curries and vegetables. The oil is utilized for human consumption throughout Northern India in cooking and frying purposes. The oil cake is used as cattle feed and manure (5.2 N, 1.0 P2O5 and 1.4 K2O). Green stems and leaves are a good source of green fodder for cattle. |
