A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on growth attributes and growth rate of linseed. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD), with nine treatments in the Rabi season of 2022 with three different levels of P (40, 50 and 60 kg P₂O₅/ha) and S (30, 40 and 50 kg S /ha) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Application of P and S significantly influenced the growth attributes and growth rate of linseed. Conjoint application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 50 kg P ha^-1 + 50 kg S ha^-1 recorded the highest plant height 41.66 and 60.02 cm at 60 and 90 DAS, respectively whereas, number of branches per plant documented maximum value 4.86 and 9.81 at 60 and 90 DAS. The same treatment (T6) showed the maximum crop growth rate (5.92 and 9.19 g/m²/day) and relative growth rate (4.86 and 9.81 g/g/day) at 30 – 60 and 60 – 90 DAS, respectively.
