A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 at Oil Seed Research Farm of C S Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experiment consisted 9 treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1, T3: Foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% at 45 DAS, T4: Soil Application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% at 45 DAS, T5: Soil application Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1, T6: Foliar application of Borax @ 0.3 % at 45 DAS, T7: Soil application of Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 Foliar application of Borax @ 0.3 % at 45 DAS, T8: Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS and T9: Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 in soil assigned in Randomized Block Design with three replication. The Linseed cv Shekhar was used in the experiment. The results in significantly maximum plant stand, plant height, yield attributes: Days to 50% flowering and maturity, Number of capsules plant-1 and number of seeds capsule-1, 1000-seed weight (g) was significantly affected by T9 and T8 treatments. The highest 1000-seed weight (8.97) under (T9) treatment were soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 at the time of sowing as compared to all the treatments except treatment No.(T8 ) Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS under limited irrigation of central Uttar Pradesh.

The Linseed cv Shekhar was used in the experiment. The results in significantly maximum seed yield, oil content, oil yield and stover yield, Root development, minimum water use and ultimately higher seed yield and WUE as compared to other corresponding tested treatments indicated that application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 incorporated in the soil have fetched highest net return of Rs 52050 having B:C ratio of 3.51 would be quite remunerative for higher productivity along with water use efficiency in light textured alluvial soils of Uttar Pradesh.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
