Abstract: The study regarding yield performance of ten genotypes of mustard under agro-climatic conditions of Bahawalpur region was conducted at Experimentation Station of Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI), Bahawalpur. Ten genotypes of mustard were tested for their yield potential under agro-climatic conditions of Bahawalpur. The objective of this study was to find out the high yielding genotypes of mustard best suited for southern Punjab. Significant differences were observed for yield Kg ha-1, number of siliquas per plant, number of branches per plant, siliquas length and thousand grains weight. The genotype AZ-raya produced the highest seed yield of 2001.2 Kg ha-1 followed by khanpur raya (1838.4 Kg ha-1) and BARD-1 (1741.1 Kg ha-1). The genotype RL-18 produced the lowest seed yield of 1380.5 Kg ha-1.
