Evaluation of selected segregating populations of Indian rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) for yield and yield related traits

Toria is the predominant oilseed crop of Assam, but productivity is very low compared to all India average. Therefore, continued efforts are necessary to achieve high seed yield through breeding high yielding varieties. The present study was conducted to evaluate the segregating populations of some toria x yellow sarson crosses for yield and related traits. During Rabi 2015-16, 21 populations consisting of 5 parents, 3 F1s and 13 F3s were grown.
