Mustard is locally popular with the name of tora/rayo/raichi is getting priority among the farmers due to its dual advantage of leafy vegetables and oilseed. With the objective identification of the potential mustard genotypes from the available gene pools, a coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) was conducted in Oilseed Research Program, Nawalpur. A total of 14 mustard genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The plot size was 10 m2 with five rows of 3-meter length maintaining inter-row of 40 cm and intra-row spacing of 15 cm. While depicting the yield, ICJ01-11 was considered the highest yielding genotype with the average yield of 521 kg/ha followed by ICJ9708 with the yield of 467 kg/ha and RH30 with the yield of 450 kg/ha. Due to the pivotal role of mustard as an oilseed production, it is indispensable to evaluate the available gene pool of local landrace, varieties and foreign genotypes of mustard to find out the highest yielding. So these promising genotypes can be used the in future to develop varieties of genotypes with high yield.
