A field experiments was conducted to evaluate the effect of different types sowing technique on mustard varieties in Regional Research Station (Hill Zone), Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya in the year 2015-16 during Rabi season (Dec-Feb). The aim of the present study was to evaluate three varieties viz., NC 1, PS 28 and Piloo NG in Hill Zone of West Bengal with respect to yield attributing characters. Mustrad seeds were sown by broadcasting as well as line spacing (25cm×5-7 cm). It was found that the mustard yield and yield attributing characters in line spacing was higher (1.35 t/ha) compared to broadcasting (1.33 t/ha). It was also observed that PS 28 have the best yield (1.42 t/ha) in comparison to NC 1 (1.31 t/ha) and Piloo NG (1.30 t/ha).
