Abstract: The purpose of the study is to determine the factors affecting the rapeseed and mustard crop production in Jorhat district of Assam. The secondary data collected for the study pertained to the variables area, production, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, total rainfall, bright sunshine hours, and wind speed for the period 1988-89 to 2014-2015. The method of multiple linear regression has been employed for the study. There is a positive relationship between production of rapeseed and mustard crop and area, production and maximum temperature, as well as production and total rainfall. There is a negative relationship between production and minimum temperature, production and bright sunshine hours, as well as production and wind speed. The independent variable area is significant in the model. It can be concluded that the overall model is statistically significant for the rapeseed and mustard crop in Jorhat district of Assam.
