Abstract: On-farm testing was conducted for two consecutive years during Rabi seasons 2018-19 and 2019-20 at farmer’s fields of Majhgawan block of Satna district in India to validate the effect of irrigation scheduling and nipping management for higher yield and economic returns of mustard. The on-farm testing trials were laid out with two treatments i.e T1 Two irrigation (25 DAS and 40-45 DAS) and no nipping and T2 Application of two irrigation (one each at pre-flowering 35-40 days and pod filling 65-75 days) and nipping at pre bud stage (30 DAS). Application of two irrigation (one each at pre-flowering 35-40 days and pod filling 65-75 days) and nipping at pre bud stage (30 DAS) recorded highest primary branches (13.95) and secondary branches (27.85) per plant, siliquae/plant (189.15), seeds/siliqua (19.30) seed yield (23.59 q ha-1), gross returns (Rs 101721ha-1), net return (Rs 71746ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.39) as compared to application of two irrigation (25 DAS and 40-45 DAS) and no nipping. Two irrigations at pre-flowering and pod filling with nipping at pre bud stage (30 DAS) increase in plant growth and yield parameters so it can be recommended two irrigations at pre flowering and pod filling stage with nipping at pre bud stage for getting higher yield of Mustard over non-nipping in the Satpura and Kaymore Plateau zone of Madhya Pradesh.
