Abstract
The brassica genus contains the most genetically diverse collection of agriculturally important plant species, including oilseed, mustard and cruciferous species. Comparisons for seed yield and its components were drawn among brown (Brassica rapa var. brown sarson), gobhi (Brassica napus) and yellow sarson (B. rapa var. trilocularis). Brown sarson was found high yielder by virtue of its high siliquae number per plant and recorded maturity duration between the two. B. napus entries were late and showed intermediate seed yield. Significant mean squares were noted for all the traits among and within groups.
Key words: Brassica rapa, Brassica napus, sarson, maturity, yield.
