Abstract: Crop production largely depends on cultivation of high yielding varieties and need based application of nutrients. Nitrogen (N) is the most important nutrient, and being a constituent of protoplasm and protein, it is involved in several metabolic processes that strongly influence growth, productivity, yield and quality of mustard. Varieties may differ in their response to applied N. These may differ in their ability to absorb nitrogen from soil (uptake efficiency) and/or in their efficiency to utilize absorbed N for dry matter production (utilization efficiency). Nitrogen efficient cultivars may yield better under conditions of limited N supply or require lower amount of N for given yield than N inefficient varieties. This review provides an overview of the nitrogen management and adoption of varieties is differ in different agro-climatic.
