Effect of N, P and S and Their Interactions on Yield of and Nutrient Uptake by Linseed (Linum usitatissimum)
Year: 1995
Type: article
Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during rabi 1987–88 and 1988–89 on a sandy loam Inceptisol to study the individual and interaction effects of N, P, S on linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) crop. The levels of N, P2O5 and S were: 0, 40 and 80; 0, 25 and 50; and 0, 30 and 60 kg ha−1, respectively. N application increased significantly seed yield over control. The increase were 37.4 and 39.0 per cent in the two years. Similarly P and S increased the seed yield by 17.3 and 14.1; and 10.2 and 11.6 per cent, respectively. Significant responses were recorded up to 80 kg N, 50 kg PP5 and 30 kg S ha−1. Nx P, Nx SandPx S interactions were significant. Uptake of N, P and S also increased significantly.
