Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on yield attributes and yield of linseed. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD), with nine treatments with three replications, in the Rabi season of 2022 with three different levels of P (40, 50 and 60 kg P2O5/ha) and S (30, 40 and 50 kg S /ha) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Application of P and S significantly influenced the yield attribute and yield of linseed. Addition of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 50 kg P ha^-1 + 50 kg S ha^-1 recorded the highest capsules/plant (51.68), number of seed/plant (7.64), test weight (8.28 g), seed yield (946.52 kg ha^-1), straw yield (2417.19 kg ha^-1), biological yield (3660.85 kg ha^-1) and harvest index (36.44%). However, the same treatment noted the maximum gross return (Rs. 130584.30), net return (Rs. 79444.30) and B:C ratio (1.55).
