8. Care & Management
- Used 80% germinated variety
- Special making for leveling
- Making systematic drainage canal
- Thinning when emerging of normal 6 leaves.
- Cleaning weed when plants are young
- Irrigate to field when water is needed at the start and end of flowering time.
- To prevent sucking and rolling pest
- For reduce postharvest losses, systematic heaping and standing.
9. Recorded data
50 % germination date
- Shall be recorded the day of 50% germination among all plants at small plot. Flowing date
- Shall be recorded the first day of flowers are blooms at small plot.
50 % flowering date
- Shall be recorded the day of 50 % flowering among all plants at small plot.
Plant height (cm)
- Shall be recorded from plant base to leaf tip for 10 sample plants that can represent the whole research field.
Fruit on first node (cm)
- Shall be recorded from plant base to first fruit for 10 sample plants.
Side branch per plant
- Shall be counted number of side branches that must count branches with sound fruit from 10 sample plants.
Fruits per plant
- Shall be counted number of fruit that must count only sound fruit from 10 sample plants.
Yield from 10 plants (g)
- Shall be measured seed weight from 10 sample plants.
Plot yield (g)
- Shall be measured seed weight from the small plot.
1000 grain weight (g)
- Shall be measured 1000 grain weight from the yield of 10 sample plants.
Oil present
- Shall be tested oil content present at lab.
Harvesting date
- Shall be harvested when leaves and stalks are turned green to yellow in small plot.
10. Calculating yield
No of plant/ac (g) x no of fruits/ plant x 1000 grain weight x no of seed/fruit
Yield (bsk) =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
454 x 1000 x 54
Yield from sample area (g) x 473560
Yield (bsk) =---------------------------------------------------------------
Sample size x 1000 x 32
