Based on multi-location
test performance, two mustard varieties have been identified for
release. CS 614-4-1-4 developed at the Central Soil Salinity Research
Institute (CSSRI), Karnal, is resistant to salinity and identified
for saline regions of the country. The other variety developed
at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, is a
short duration mustard variety which matures only in 100 days.
Normal mustard varieties take more than 140 days to mature. It
is a good variety for early sowing in the north eastern states
of the country.
