Highlights
Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is the second most important winter oilseed crop and stands next to rapeseedmustard in area and production in India
In India, during 2013-14 linseed is grown in an area of 292.1 thousand hectares with annual production of 141.2 thousand tonnes and productivity of 484 kg/ha
The North Central Plateau Zone of Odisha comprising the districts of Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar contributes to about 50.6 % of the total linseed area of the state of Odisha (Anonymous, 2015b)
Summary
Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is the second most important winter oilseed crop and stands next to rapeseedmustard in area and production in India. It has an important position in Indian economy due to its wide industrial utility. In India, during 2013-14 linseed is grown in an area of 292.1 thousand hectares with annual production of 141.2 thousand tonnes and productivity of 484 kg/ha. We need a high yielding linseed variety for late sown conditions with resistance to powdery mildew. With this objective, field screening of linseed genotypes for resistance to powdery mildew was initiated
