Abstract:
The new appraisal entitled “Performance of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) varieties under Northern hill zone of Chhattisgarh” was carried out during Rabi season 2020-21, at RMD college of Agriculture and Research Station, Ambikapur (C.G.). The experiment was conducted with 5 treatments and 4 replications in Randomized Block Design. Treatment comprised with five varieties viz. RLC-148, RLC-133, RLC-92, Deepika and R-4292. The result revealed that the RLC-92 significantly better performance observed as compare to other test varities of linseed with respect to growth parameter and yield attributing characters viz. plant height (64.17 cm), Primary branches plant^-1 (3.70), crop growth rate (0.1529 g plant^-1day^-1), number of capsules plant^-1 (56.10), number of seed capsule^-1 (8.15), test weight (7.28 g), grain yield (1196.90 kg ha^-1), net return (43152.33 ₹ ha^-1) and B:C ratio (2.20) respectively. The varieties RLC-92 and RLC-148 both are similar to each other but variety RLC-92 was most suitable for northern hill zone of Chhattisgarh.
