Varietal Variation of Productivity and Chemical Components on Seed-Mustard (Brassica juncea Cosson) Lines

Seed mustard is high in nutrient quality and grows continuously under cold condition. Accordingly, it possessess high potential to bring about more efficient use of land when it is grown as a seasonings crop at paddy field in winter season. Recently, Seed mustard has aroused people‘s interest as a catch crop. The purpose of this trial is to examine productivity and chemical components of seed mustard and to select suitable variety in the southern area of Korea. Seed-mustard cv. Yeongsanpo local showed higher seed yield than any other varieties used in the experiment. It showed relatively high content of Oil, Protein, Ash, Carbo, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$, Ca and T-N. The heritabilities of all the characters were estimated to be high. Therefore, it was concluded that Youngsanpo local was the most suitable variety with high yield and high nutrient quality at the southern area of Korea.
