Description The study entitled ‘Simulation of growth and yield of Indian-mustard (Brassica juncea) using InfoCrop
model for western Haryana’ was conducted at the research area of the Department of Agricultural meteorology,
CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, during the Rabi season of 2014-15. The main plots treatments
consisted of three date of sowing (26th October (D1), 5th November (D2), and 15th of November (D3). The sub-plots
consisted of three varieties (Kranti, RH 406 and RH 0749). The thirty six treatment combinations were tested in
split plot design with four replications.
The 26th October sown crop accumulated highest heat units, heliothermal units, photothermal, thermal
use and radiation use efficiency used as compared to 5th and 15th of November sown crop. Among mustard
varieties, RH 0749 used highest heat units, heliothermal units and photothermal, thermal use and radiation use
efficiency as compared to RH 406 and Kranti.
The correlation was carried out to study the relationship between weather parameters and yield and yield
attributes at vegetative and reproductive stage. At vegetative stage, maximum temperature, minimum temperature,
sunshine hours and evaporation showed a significant positive correlation with number of siliquae per plant, seed yield
(kg/ha), biological yield (kg/ha) whereas morning and evening relative humidity showed negative correlation with
these parameters. At reproductive stage, morning and evening relative humidity showed significant positive
correlation with number of siliquae per plant, seed yield (kg/ha), biological yield (kg/ha) while rest of the weather
parameters showed significant positive correlation.
Different statistical test criteria were applied to validate and sensitivity analysis for performance of
InfoCrop model v.2.0 in estimation of mustard yield. The days to attain various phenophase, LAI, biomass, yield
and yield attributes simulated by model were compared with observed data and results revealed that the model
overestimate all the parameters within the acceptable range (
