Summary

Twenty one strains of Brassica carinata were tested under irrigated, rainfed and saline soil conditions and five strains under late sowing conditions along with five varieties each of B. juncea, B. napus and B. campestris var. yellow sarson, brown sarson and toria. Brassica juncea had the largest seed and oil yield under irrigated conditions but B. carinata performed much better than other species under late sowing, rainfed and saline soil conditions.
