Subject 631.5 Cultivation and Harvesting
 
Description Linseed is one of the most important industrial oilseed crops of India .Its cultivation goes back to more than 5000 years. The genus Linum belongs to family Linaceae and order Geraniale and is the only species in the family, which is of economic importance. The origin of Indian type of linseed is traced to be in Ethiopia, though polyphyletic origin of the same is indicated. Globally, India ranks first (21.42 %) in its area (448.7 thousand hectares) and third (10.14 %) in production (169.7 thousand tonnes) after Canada (36.06 %) and China (22.28 %) with the annual productivity of 3.78 q/ha (Anonymous 2006). Linseed is an important oilseed crop of Himachal Pradesh. However, its cultivation is concentrated in the Palam area of Kangra and Mandi districts, accounting for almost the whole area and production in the state with an area of 1.57 thousand hectare and production 0.004 thousand tonnes with productivity of 2.5 q/ha in the state (Anonymous 2009).
