Effect of different levels of Phosphorus and Sulphur on Growth and Yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of phosphorus and Sulphur on oil and yield of linseed. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, with 12 treatments, each replicated thrice, in the rabi 2019 with the different levels of Phosphous (30,40,50 P2O5 Kg/ha) and Sulphur (0,15,20,30 S Kg/ha ) respectively at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Application of Phosphorus and Sulphur significantly influenced the growth parameters, yield attribute and yield. Addition of 40 kg P2O5 + 30 kg S/ha recorded the highest plant height (59.47cm), number of branches (3.43) and maximum dry weight is (10.86 g) at 80 DAS. Whereas, highest number of Capsules/plant (51.24), highest seed yield is (816.19 Kg/ha) and stover yield is (2050.40 Kg/ha) recorded with application of 40 Kg P2O5 + 30 kg S/ha.
