Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to determine the “Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus levels on growth and yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)” (var NEELAM) with 9 treatments in the Rabi season 2020 – 2021 with the different levels of Nitrogen (45, 60, 75 kg/ha) and Phosphrous (20, 40, 60 kg/ha) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Results revealed that higher plant height (96.00 cm), plant dry weight (12.84 g), number of branches per plant (5.81), Number of capsule plant-1 (45.36), Number of seeds capsule-1 (9.46), 1000 grain weight (8.93 g), Seed yield (1.20 t/ha), Stover yield (2.84 t/ha), highest gross return (90,800.00 INR/ha), net returns (50,327.00 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.24) were obtained by the application of 75 kg Nitrogen/ha + 60 kg Phosphorus/ha. The successive increase in fertilizer levels of nitrogen and phosphorus increased the higher growth and yield attributes.
