Description M. Sc. (Ag.)
A field experiment was carried out during winter (rabi) season of 2013-14 to study the “Effect of irrigation scheduling and nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of utera linseed” at Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The treatments involved three irrigation levels (control, one irrigation at 55 days after germination and two irrigation at 25 days after paddy harvest and 25-30 days after 1st irrigation) in main plots and four fertilizer management practices (control, 100% RDN, 100% RDN+ seed inoculation with PSB and azotobactor and 100% RDN+ foliar spray of urea (2%) at pre flowering) in sub plots. In order to assess the effect of irrigation levels and fertilizer management practices as well on crop growth, yield attributes, yield, quality and NPK uptake of linseed, periodical observations were taken on plant height, number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, dry weight accumulation plant-1, number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1, 1000-seed weight, seed and stover yields. Oil content, oil yield, protein contents and protein yield were estimated to assess the effect of treatments on qualitative aspects. These were determined by simple calculations. Nutrient contents (NPK) in seed and stover were also estimated. The data collected during the course of experimentation were subjected to statistical analysis to draw valid conclusions. Finally the different treatments were assessed for their gross return, net return and benefit: cost ratio. The important findings and broad conclusions emerging from the investigation are summarized hereunder.
Thus, it may be recommended that for achieving maximum yield and net return under irrigated condition from linseed variety ‘Neelam’ should be supplemented with one irrigation and 100% RDN+ seed inoculation with PSB andazotobactor. However, to ascertain the findings field trial may be conducted for one more year.
