Abstract:
A field investigation was carried out during rabi season 2022-23 at Experimental Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, VNMKV, Parbhani to evaluate the impact of foliar application of fertilizer and crop biostimulant on yield and yield attributes of linseed. The field trial was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications comprising of seven foliar nutrition treatments viz., T₁ - 2% KNO₃, T₂ - 2% DAP, T₃ - 2% urea, T₄ – 0.2% seaweed extract, T₅ – 0.25% fulvic acid, T₆ – 0.2% amino acid and T₇ – control. The foliar application of fertilizers and crop biostimulants were applied at time of flower bud initiation. Foliar application of 2% urea recorded higher number of capsules plant^-1, weight of capsules plant^-1 (g), number of seeds capsule^-1, weight of seed plant^-1 (g), test weight (g), seed yield (kg ha^-1), straw yield (kg ha^-1), biological yield (kg ha^-1) and harvest index (%) and it was found at par with foliar application of 0.2% amino acid (T₆).
