Abstract: Field experiment on canola was conducted in saline field at Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) Tarnab during 1997-98. The field was silty clay having 0.69 percent organic matter and was alkaline (pH, 8.84) in reaction. SAR was 2.23 and lime content was 20.25%. Canola was sown using four different sowing techniques included drill, broadcast, furrow and ridge with 4 replication in random arrangement. The results showed that highest grain yield and yield components were recorded when seed were grown with ridge sowing. Grain yield in ridge sowing was higher by 45, 31 and 28% than broadcast, drill and furrow sowing method, respectively. The highest grain yield (1119 kg ha–1) may be associated with less saline environment in ridges as irrigation next to the seed row caused movement of salts away from the seeds and into the ridges. This allowed the seed to germinate and establish in less saline conditions thereby increasing yield. The lowest grain yield (618 kg ha–1) of canola produced with broadcast sowing may be associated with higher salt content in soil solution due to evapotranspiration.
