Abstract:
This experiment was carried out during Rabi season of 2021-22 at Agricultural Research Farm of faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Mandhana, Kanpur Nagar (U.P). The present experiment was laid out in random block design, the experiment consists of 9 treatments viz; where organic, inorganic source of nutrient and Sulfur T₁- Control, T₂- RDF 100%, T₃-RDF + S (15 kg ha^-1), T4-RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1), T₅- RDF + 5 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1), T₆-RDF + 7 t ha^-1 FYM + S (15 kg ha^-1), T₇- RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM + S (15 kg ha^-1), T₈- RDF + 1 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1), T₉- RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1) with three replications in linseed crop. The results of this experiment result indicate the growth parameter viz; plant height, number of primary, secondary and tertiary branches was estimated with 100% RDF + 5 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1) which was statistically at par with 100% RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1) but statistically superior than 100% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM + S (15 kg ha^-1) and RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1) but both were statistically at par with each other. The minimum plant height at 60 DAS was estimated from control plot and yield attributing characture viz; Number of capsules per plant, Number of seed per capsule and Test weight of linseed crop and seed and straw yield linseed crop was recorded maximum from 100% RDF + 5 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1) which was statistically more than 100% RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1) and 100% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM + S (15 kg ha-1), RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1) and RDF + 1 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1). The maximum Net return and B:C ratio of linseed crop was estimated with 100% RDF + 5 t ha^-1 Vermicompost + S (15 kg ha^-1) (Rs. 87075/ha) which was more than with 100% RDF + 3 t ha^-1 Poultry Manure + S (15 kg ha^-1) (Rs. 80683/ha) and 100% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM + S (15 kg ha-¹) (Rs. 67985 /ha). The minimum Net return was estimated from control plot (Rs. 51256 /ha).
