Influence of nitrogen and phosphorus application on the yield, and oil content of linseed (Linum usitatissimum)
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A field expelinlent was conducted on sandy-loam soil during the winter (rabr) seasons of 1986-88, to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen (0,40,80 and 120 kg Nha) and phosphorus (0,20 and 40 kg P20sha) on yield attributes, yield, quality of linseed (hum usi~fiss~um L.), and uptake of N and P. lhough the grain yield as well as the yield attributes increased significantly with increasing levels of N and P up to the maximum levels except the effect of P on 1,000-grain weight, 80 kg N and 40 kg P20s/ha were optimum. Significant level of recovery in crop was up to 40 kg N and 40 kg Pha. However, uptake of N was noted up to 80 kg N and 40 kg P20,ha. Crude protein content increased significantly with an increase in level of N and P. Application of N significantly affected the iodine value.
