Effect of Sowing Dates and Preliminary Screening of Linseed Genotypes for Bud Fly Infestation

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Field experiments on effect of sowing dates and screening of genotypes in reference to linseed bud fly infestation were conducted during rabi 2016-17 under natural field conditions. The tested genotypes/varieties have shown high infestation of linseed bud fly and low yield in progressive manner with delay in sowing. The lowest mean bud fly infestation (13.39%) and highest mean yield (1385.30 kg ha-1) was obtained with the crop sown on 08.11.2016 whereas the highest mean bud fly infestation (37.46%) and lowest mean yield (177.75 kg ha-1) was obtained with crop sown on 08.01.2017. In case of varieties, the lowest mean bud fly infestation (19.83%) was observed in BRLS-102 followed by Shekhar (22.23%) whereas Shubhra resulted in highest mean bud fly infestation (32.82%). Out of tested genotypes, a total of 12, 65, 17, 5, 2 genotypes were categorized as resistant, moderately resistant, moderately susceptible, susceptible and highly susceptible, respectively based on bud fly damage index under natural field conditions.
