Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season, 2020-21 to study the effect of linseed under varying levels of phosphorous application and varieties at the student instructional field, department of Agronomy, faculty of Agriculture, AKS University, Satna (M.P.). The experiment consisted of randomize block design having Factorial arrangement with three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four levels of phosphorus as P₀- 0 kg/ha, P₁- 30 kg/ha, P₂- 40 kg/ha and P₃- 50 kg/ha, while three linseed varieties were tested are V₁- JLS-66, V₂- JLS-67 and V₃- JLS-09. During the experiment, it was found that highest plant height (35.99 cm), number of branches per plant (7.93), number of capsules per plant (37.27), number of seeds per capsule (8.73), test weight (9.81 g), seed yield (17.47 q/ha), stover yield (28.92 q/ha) and oil content (40.08 %) at maximum crop growth stage was recorded in plots treated with application of phosphorus @ 50 kg/ha in combination with linseed variety of JLS- 66. It was concluded from the results that linseed variety of JLS- 66 observed maximum plant growth, yield & yield attributing characters as well as quality of linseed.
