Mustard Cultivation by transplanting (ਪਨੀਰੀ ਲਗਾ ਕੇ ਸਰੋਂ ਦੀ ਕਾਸ਼ਤ) Shergill Markhai

Transplanting of Gobhi Sarson and African Sarson: A successful crop of gobhi sarson or African sarson can be raised by transplanting. This technique should be preferred where sowing is likely to be delayed to November-mid December. For higher yield, transplanting should be done in November. • Nursery Raising: Sowing of nursery should be undertaken about 60 days for gobhi sarson (GSL 1) and 30 days for canola gobhi sarson and African sarson ahead of the transplanting period. About eight marlas (200 sq. metre) of nursery is sufficient for transplanting in one acre. A fine seedbed with adequate soil moisture is necessary for getting good stand of nursery. Apply 4.5 kg urea and 4 kg of single super phosphate with last ploughing and level it. Broadcast uniformly 400 g seed of gobhi sarson or 600 g seed of African sarson and mix it with the help of trangli (toothed rake). Give a light irrigation to the nursery bed after about 10 days of germination to be followed by one or two more irrigations when needed. Method of transplanting: After applying pre-sowing irrigation, prepare the field well. Draw furrows 45 cm apart for gobhi sarson and 30 cm apart for African sarson. Place one seedling at a distance of 10-15 cm. Close the furrows and irrigate the field immediately.
