Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2020-21 at Experimental Farm, Oilseeds Research Station, Latur to determine the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) on growth and yield of linseed on vertisols soil order. The experiment was laid out Randomized Block Design with seven treatments, replicated thrice. The result of the study revealed that significantly higher growth attributes viz. plant height, no. of branches per plant, total dry matter per plant at 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 DAS and at harvest, plant spread at 45, 60, 75, 90 DAS and at harvest, and mean days required for 50 per cent flowering and yield attributes like no. of capsules per plant (85.96), weight of capsule per plant (5.48g), no. of seed per capsules (9.25), weight of seed per plant (3.68g), test weight (9.24g), seed yield (1757 kg ha^-1), straw yield (2690 kg ha^-1), biological yield (4447 kg/ha) and harvest index (39.50%) was observed with the application of RDNPS + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1 + Vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha^-1 + ZnSO₄ @ 20 kg ha^-1 (T₆).
