Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand, Gujarat, during rabi 2019-20 to study the “Nitrogen management through organic sources in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) under irrigated condition”. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with ten treatments of organic sources of nitrogen viz., 100% RDF (60-30-0 NPK kg/ha) (T₁), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through FYM (T₂), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through vermicompost (T₃), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through castor cake (T₄), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T₅), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through vermicompost + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T₆), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through castor cake + NPK consortium as seed treatment (T₇), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM + NPK consortium as soil application (T₈), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through vermicompost + NPK consortium as soil application (T₉) and N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through castor cake + NPK consortium as soil application (T₁₀). The result indicated that growth and yield attributing character of linseed viz., plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest, number of branches/plant at 60 DAS and at harvest, dry matter accumulation (g/plant) at 60 DAS and at harvest, root length (cm) at 60 DAS and at harvest, root dry biomass (g/plant) at 60 DAS and at harvest, number of capsules/plant, test weight (g), seed yield (kg/ha) and straw yield (kg/ha) were recorded significantly higher under treatment T₃ (N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through vermicompost).
