Results showed that yield of brown sarson (Brassica campestris L. var. dichotoma Watt.) was curvilinearly related to the irrigation levels, peaking at 21.8 cm of water. Yield responses to nitrogen were greater with than without irrigation, were not influenced by row spacings at low levels of water but were greater with low than with the high density plantings (narrower spacings) at the high levels of water. Oil content was increased by irrigation, increased by nitrogen at the low levels but decreased at the high levels (48 and 60 kg/ha), and was directly related to the row spacing under restricted water supply and inversely related to row spacing under adequate water supply.
