In the sampled areas data were collected through pre-designed interview schedule from January-March, 2019. Tabular, descriptive statistics and logit model were used to fulfill objectives.The study ascertains that mustard production is profitable. The average per hector net return was Tk. 22278.34 and profitability ratio was 1.50. Thirteen explanatory variables were performed in logit regression analysis in this study. The result of logit regression model shows that experience of household head, farm size, annual income, yield, training, and extension contact were found as positively significant and earning person, duration and weather were found as negatively significant variables in explaining the variation in Binasarisha-9 adoption of farm households.
