Row spacing and seed rate are management practices that affect flax seed yield. Hence to find out the optimum quantity of seed rate and spacing for higher production in irrigated linseed, the present experiment was conducted under AICRP on Linseed, College of Agriculture, Nagpur during the Rabi Season of 2019-20. The Experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications in which Factor A consist of two spacing i.e. T1 - 30 cm and T2 - 45 cm and Factor B includes four seed rate S1- 10 kg/ha, S2- 15 kg/ha, S3- 20 kg/ha, S4- 25 kg/ha. Results showed significant effects of seed rates and spacing on all growth and yield attributes, which reflecting the importance of seeding rate and spacing for linseed. Maximum plant height was recorded after using the seed rate at 25 kg/ha (S4) and with 30cm spacing (T1) which was at par with seed rate 20 kg/ha (S3). The other growth parameters like number of branches, number of capsules per plant and test weight was found higher in the treatment having the seed rate of 10 kg/ha (S1) and in the spacing of 45cm (T2). Seed yield of linseed was recorded highest by using the seed rate at 15 kg/ha, which was at par with at the seed rate of 20 kg/ha and in the closer spacing of 30cm between rows i.e. 9.15% more as compare to row spacing of 45cm. Gross monetary returns, net monetary returns and B:C ratio was also recorded maximum in the seed rate of 15 kg/ha and with 30cm row spacing. It is concluded that advancement in seed rate by lowering down up to 15 kg/ha increases the productivity and profitability of linseed.
All India coordinated Research Project on linseed conducted a field experiment on Agriculture Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur under Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra during Rabi Season of 2019-20 in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication. Three genotypes NL – 356, JLS-95, T-397 were tested with three nutrient levels i.e. 50 % RDF, 100% RDF and 150 % RDF. The result revealed yield potential of the entry NL-356 was 26% highest over JLS-95 and 13% more on T-397 under rainfed condition. However, the increase in nutrient level from 50 % RDF to 150 % RDF influence the growth and yield attributes which favours the increase in yield. Therefore, it is concluded that genotype NL 356 with 100 % RDF achieve higher growth rate i.e. plant height, number of branches as well as yield attributes number of capsules per plant, number of seed per capsule and highest NMR and B:C ratio.
A field experiment was conducted under All India coordinated Research Project on linseed at Agriculture Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur in Rabi Season 2019-20. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication in which effect of three seed rate i.e. 30, 40 and 50 Kg/ha was tested on three genotypes i.e. BRLS-106, Shekhar and T- 397. The results revealed that among the genotype BRLS -106 was found superior over Shekhar and T-397 genotypes under utera condition with respect to growth, yield and yield attributes. However, the seed rate 50 kg-1 found superior in yield, GMR and NMR. The interaction of BRLS-106 with seed rate 40kg/ha has recorded the highest seed yield and net monetary returns also.
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019-2020 at AICRP on Linseed and Mustard College of Agriculture Nagpur to study the impact of plant defence inducers product on disease control in linseed. Among the ten different treatment tested the standard check hexaconazole (0.1%) followed by Seed treatment with salicylic Acid at 100 ppm + Foliar spray of sodium propionate (1%) was found most effective in minimizing the severity of powdery mildew 25.68 % and 29.39% respectively and significantly superior. Seed treatment with salicylic Acid at 50 ppm + Foliar spray of sodium propionate (1%) and Seed treatment with salicylic Acid at 100 ppm + Foliar spray of salicylic acid at 100 ppm and were remain at par with each other in reducing the disease intensity over control (62.90%). Maximum seed yield 1334 kg/ha was obtained with hexaconazole (0.1%) followed by Seed treatment with salicylic Acid at 100 ppm + Foliar spray of sodium propionate (1%) (1210 kg/ha).The highest ICBR (5.68) was recorded with hexaconazole (0.1%) i.e. 8.87 followed by Seed treatment with salicylic Acid at 100 ppm + Foliar spray of sodium propionate(1%).
The commercial importance of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) has attracted Agronomist to increase its seed yield using various agronomical and breeding approaches. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have a significant role in enhancing yield and its related traits in linseed. Hence, to find out effect of different growth regulators on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of linseed, the present experiment was conducted under AICRP on Linseed, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Growth regulator shows significant effect on growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed. Plant height and number of capsules per plant was observed highest and significantly superior after application of 400 ppm Gibberellic acid (GA) and application of 0.1 % Tebuconazole which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. Number of branches and number of capsules per plant were also observed at par in the treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA. The seed yield of linseed was recorded significantly higher in T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA and treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. The gross monetary return was found maximum in the treatment T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA, this might be due the maximum seed yield after application of 400 ppm GA, but net monetary return and B:C ratio resulted minimum due to the high market cost of GA (Rs. 9000/- for 400 ppm). Net monetary return and B:C ratio was found maximum in treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid, this might be due to the low cost of Salicylic acid.
