Abstract (2. Language): 
Brassica is the most economically important genus in the Brassicaceae family. Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern & Coss) is an important source of edible oil in India. In this paper the findings of main effect and interaction effect of Indian mustard varieties and different sulphur level on oil content and glucosinolate is presented. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) during Ravi season, 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Agricultural Farm, Nana ji Deshmukh New Agriculture Campus, M.G.C.G.V.V., Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) in the Rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 continuous years. Results revealed that the oil (%) of Indian mustard seeds maximum was recorded in variety PUSA-Tarak along with S60 followed by RB-50, PUSA-Jagannath and Kranti in both consecutive years. The Glucosinolate of Indian mustard seeds were determined and the highest values were recorded in Kranti (2013-14), and same varieties Kranti in (2014-15). Lowest values were recorded in the same varieties LET-18 in 2013-14 and (2014-15), respectively. Interaction results showed that combine application of varieties and sulphur significantly affected on oil content, and glucosinolate. Maximum value of oil content and glucosinolate was recorded in 60kgha-1 of S in 2013-14, 2014-15 respectively.
