This research, conducted at Horticultural Farm, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar (Pakistan), aimed at investigating of plant spacing (20, 30, and 40 cm) and sowing time on the seed yield of turnip. Stecklings transplanted on December 10, took significantly maximum number of days to bloom (94.13), plant height (128. 07cm), number of siliquas per plant (1198.62), seed per siliqua (16.01), seed yield (651.61 kg/h) and 1000-seed weight (2.39 g) as compared to sowing on January 9th. Compared to 20 cm planting space, 40 cm resulted in maximum number of branches per plant (9.46), siliquas per plant (1141.87) and 1000-seed weight (2.51 g). Final seed yield, however, was maximum (539.31 kg/h) in 20 cm plant spacing. On the basis of this study, sowing on 10th December with 20 cm planting distance is recommended for high seed yield of turnip.
