Abstract:

An experiment during the Rabi season of 2024, an experiment conducted at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Prayagraj (U.P.) India, was titled Effect of Nitrogen and Sulphur on Growth and Yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissiumum L.). Along with RDF, the different treatments employed three amounts of phosphorus (45, 60, and 75 kg/ha) and Sulphur (20, 30, and 40 kg/ha). The experimental plot's sandy loamy soil had a pH of 7.3, was nearly neutral in soil reaction, and contained potassium (243.8 kg/ha), accessible phosphorus (27.4 kg/ha), nitrogen (239.5 kg/ha), and a low amount of organic carbon (0.45%). there were ten treatments with three replications were used in the randomized block design experiment. the treatment combination consists T1 - Nitrogen 45 kg/ha + Sulphur 20 kg/ha, T2 - Nitrogen 45 kg/ha + Sulphur 30 kg/ha, T3 - Nitrogen 45 kg/ha + Sulphur 40 kg/ha, T4 - Nitrogen 60 kg/ha + Sulphur 20 kg/ha, T5 - Nitrogen 60 kg/ha + Sulphur 30 kg/ha T6 - Nitrogen 60 kg/ha + Sulphur 40 kg/ha, T7 - Nitrogen 75 kg/ha + Sulphur 20 kg/ha T8 - Nitrogen 75 kg/ha + Sulphur 30 kg/ha, T9 - Nitrogen 75 kg/ha + Sulphur 40 kg/ha, T10 - Control (RDF:- 50:30:20 kg NPK/ha). On November 22, 2024, linseed (Shekhar (LCK 9313)) was sown at a spacing of 30 cm by 10 cm. In comparison to other treatments, the results showed that T7 (Phosphorus 45 kg/ha + Sulphur 15 kg/ha) had significantly higher growth attributes of Linseed at 80 DAS, including plant height (51.63 cm), dry weight (3.52 g), capsule/plant (30.88), seed/capsule (8.11), test weight (9.61), grain yield (945.82 kg/ha), and stover yield (1560.67). In T6 (Phosphorus 45 kg/ha + Sulphur 15 kg/ha), the highest gross return (INR 95030.92/ha), net return (INR 64952.92/ha), and B:C ratio (2.16) were also noted. The highest test weight, grain yield, stover yield, gross return, net return, and benefit cost ratio, along with the fact that it is profitable, all demonstrated that applying Nitrogenand Sulphur enhances linseed development and yield.
