Response of Promising Linseed Verieties to Notrogen

A field experiment was conducted at Oilseeds Research Farm, Kalyanpur, Kanpur during to consequtive years of 2000-01 and 2001- 02 in loam soil under irrigated conditions. Five nitrogen doses (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg/ha) were tested for three varieties (Neelum, Garima and LCK 8657) in split plot design with nitrogen levels in main plots. Results showed that linseed varieties responded significantly upto 60 and 90 kg. N/ha during first and second year of study, respectively. Varietal differences were found significant only during second year when variety LCK 8657 yielded significantly maximum seeds. Interaction of variety × nitrogen was not found to be significant.
