A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of Oilseed Section, CSK HPKV, Palampur in RBD keeping 9 treatments, comprising of three linseed varieties ('Bhagsu', 'Surbhi'&'Baner') and three nitrogen levels (10, 20 and 30 kg/ha) to study the influence of nitrogen on linseed varieties under utera condition. Variety 'Baner' being at par with 'Bhagsu' had recorded significantly more plant height, higher number of primary branches/plant, capsules/plant and seed yield of linseed (538 and 514 kg/ha, respectively). Nitrogen fertilization at 30 kg/ha was proved to be significantly best for recording significantly highest plant stand, growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed (610 kg/ha). Interaction of varieties and nitrogen levels was significant on seed yield. 'Baner' behaved statistically similar to 'Bhagsu' when supplied with 30 kg N/ha for significantly higher seed yield of linseed. 45.4 and 43.1% respective increase in the seed yield was recorded with these combinations over 'Surbhi' grown with same nitrogen level.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of Oilseed Section, CSK HPKV, Palampur in RBD keeping 9 treatments, comprising of three linseed varieties ('Bhagsu', 'Surbhi'&'Baner') and three nitrogen levels (10, 20 and 30 kg/ha) to study the influence of nitrogen on linseed varieties under utera condition. Variety 'Baner' being at par with 'Bhagsu' had recorded significantly more plant height, higher number of primary branches/plant, capsules/plant and seed yield of linseed (538 and 514 kg/ha, respectively). Nitrogen fertilization at 30 kg/ha was proved to be significantly best for recording significantly highest plant stand, growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed (610 kg/ha). Interaction of varieties and nitrogen levels was significant on seed yield. 'Baner' behaved statistically similar to 'Bhagsu' when supplied with 30 kg N/ha for significantly higher seed yield of linseed. 45.4 and 43.1% respective increase in the seed yield was recorded with these combinations over 'Surbhi' grown with same nitrogen level.
