Add to ORKGNot AvailableA field experiment was conducted at Pali-Marwar, Rajasthan, during winter season (rabi) of 1997-98 to 2001–02 to find out the effect of field bunding and deep tillage during preceding rainy (kharif) season and straw mulch onIndian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson] productivity. Field bunding significantly increased meanmustard seed yield by 14.4% and biological yield by 15.3% over no bunding because of increased availability ofsoil moisture. Water-use efficiency also increased by 9.7 kg/ha-mm. Deep tillage during monsoon significantly in-creased the seed yield by 45.5 and 11.1% over pre-monsoon deep tillage in 1999–00 and 2001–02. Straw mulch-ing at 5 tonnes/ha significantly increased mean seed yield by 17.7% over...
