Abstract
Due to an enrichment of suitable agro-climatic conditions prevailing in Assam, farmers are highly encouraged to cultivate oilseed crops particularly rapeseed and mustard in a large scale by adopting scientific production technological interventions implemented by the resource persons and extension workers. Implementation of oilseeds production programme under ICAR-Directorate of Rapeseed Mustard Research Bharatpur, Rajasthan linked with Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project Scheme have extremely supported the farmers in terms of supply of seeds and farm inputs along with some agricultural farm machineries. In addition, farmers are also instructed to adopt the method of timely sowing of seeds in addition to appropriate cropping sequence in order to increase yield and decrease insect and pest infestation leading to create a significant impact on yellow revolution in Assam.
