Effect of split application of nitrogen and nano-urea supplementation on growth,yield and economics of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2021-22 at MARS, UAS Raichur, Karnataka to study the effect of split application of nitrogen and nano-urea supplementation on growth and yield of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.). The results revealed that application of 100 % N (Two Splits - 50% N as basal + 50% N as top dressing) recorded higher seed yield of linseed which was found at par with the 75% N (Two Splits - 50% N as basal + 50% N as top dressing). The growth parameters, yield attributes and seed yield of linseed was significantly higher with two sprays of nano-urea @ 3ml /litre each at flower initiation stage and capsule development stage, which was found almost at par with the two sprays of 2% urea at flower initiation and capsule development stage. Economic analysis revealed that higher gross monetary returns and net monetary returns were noticed under the application of two sprays of nano-urea @ 3ml /litre each at flower initiation stage and capsule development stage.

Efficacy of different herbicides for controlling grass predominant weed flora and achieving higher production in dual purpose linseed under mid hills of Himachal Pradesh

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of herbicide treatments on the weed flora and the production of the dual-purpose Linseed. The results revealed that grassy weeds viz., Phalaris minor, Lolium temulentum and Avena ludoviciana constituted 43.2, 23.2 and 17.2% of the total weed flora at 90 DAS. Among the broadleaf weeds, Vicia sativa and Spergulla arvensis constituted about 8.4% of total weed flora. As the crop was mainly infested with grassy weeds, effective control of total weeds with the application of clodinafop 60 g/ha (Post.), pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha (Pre.) and isoproturon 1.25 kg/ha (Post.) as equivalent to hand weeding twice resulted in significantly higher seed, straw, biological, oil and fibre yield of Linseed. As far as the economics is concerned, significantly higher net returns of ₹ 54401 and 3051/ha and net returns per rupee invested (2.01 and 1.90) were obtained by statistically similar treatments of clodinafop 60 g/ha (Post.) and pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha (Pre.), respectively. Thus, depending upon the situation in dual-purpose Linseed, selecting either of these appropriate chemicals is the better option for controlling grass-predominant weed flora and obtaining higher yields (seed and fiber) with better returns.

Foliar application of plant growth regulators on growth, yield and economics of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Growth regulators are widely used in various crops to boost the growth and yield attributing characters and ultimately the yield. The present experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 at IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh in randomized block design with eight treatments and three replications with an objective of finding out the effect of plant growth regulators on growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed variety RLC-92. The treatments consisted of four plant growth regulators (PGRs) with varied concentrations. Results revealed that the application of plant growth regulators significantly improved the growth, yield attributes and yieldof linseed as compared to spray with water. Among the eight treatments, application of auxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @ 200 ppm (T7) recorded highest growth and yield attributes and seed yield of linseed. The auxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @200 ppm (T7) recorded 26.9% higher seed yield than control (T8) and 15.5 and 11.4% higher seed yield than sole application of auxin @ 1.0 ppm (T1) and GA3 @ 200 ppm (T3) treatments, respectively. However, application ofauxin @ 1 ppm + GA3 @ 200 ppm (T7) and GA3 @ 400 ppm (T4) recorded the highest oil content during 2018-19 and 2019-2020, respectively. The maximum oil yield was recorded under the application of GA3 @ 400 ppm (T4) treatment. The application of auxin @ 2.0 ppm (T2) resulted in the highest B:C ratio and was found to be most remunerative for getting good returns.

Effect of Sulphur on Linseed Cultivars Under Rain Fed Condition

A field experiment was conducted on the Dryland Farming Research Station, Zonal Agriculture Research Station, Solapur for the five consecutive years (Rabi) from 2016-17 to 2020-21 to study the effect of sulphur on linseed cultivars under rainfed condition. Application of recommended dose N:P2O5:K2O (25:50:0) kg ha-1 with FYM 2.51 ha-1 + 40 kg ha-1 sulphur recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield of linseed (4.76 and 8.80 q ha-1) highest gross monetary return, net monetary returns and BC ratio (25794, 8990 and 1.57), respectively. However, the effect of different Interaction among the parameters tested were found to be non-significant.

IMPACT OF ORGANIC AND BIOFERTILIZER APPLICATION ON YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTING CHARACTERS IN LINSEED (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) belongs to family Linaceae, is the second most important rabi oilseed crop and stands next to rapeseed – mustard in area of cultivation and seed production in India. Flaxseed is grown as either oil crop or a fibre crop with fibre linen derived from the stem of fibre varieties and oil from the seed of linseed varieties. Several studies have been conducted on effect of fertilizers on growth and yield of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) varieties which revealed their enhancing role on the quality and quantity of flax cultivars. In this regards, a present study was planned and conducted during the Rabi season of 2020-2021 in the Agricultural field of School of Agricultural Sciences, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India to investigate the effect of organic and biofertilizer and integrated treatment on the growth and yield of Linseed. The findings were reported on important growth and yield attributed parameters such as plant height, total fresh weight, total yield, 1000- seed weight (g), and number of seed / capsules. The maximum growth and yield was reported in T6 treatment where biofertilizer have been applied in consortium form followed by vermicompost. Thus, the findings revealed that all the microbial strains in consortia used as bio fertilizers showed enhanced tern of vegetative growth of plants, total herbage yield and total seed yield at various stages. This may be due to sustained release of nutrients to supply the required elements in microbial strains. The biofertilizers exhibited beneficial effects on plant growth and development either through producing growth hormones like IAA, kinetin and gibberellins, synthesizing atmospheric nitrogen and its increased availability to greater protein synthesis as well as increasing Phosphorus availability to plant communities. Thus, it was concluded that the enhanced expression of yield and its related attributes will have beneficial impact in production of nutraceutical products of commercial importance.

Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus levels on growth and yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

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.

Effects of Varieties, Nitrogen Fertilization and Seeding Rate on Growth, Seed and Oil Yield of Linseed

The experiment was carried out for three years from 2016 to 2018 at Wolmera to study the response of different seeding rates and nitrogen fertilizer of linseed varieties. The experiment was arranged in RCBD factorial combination with three replications. Two improved varieties (kassa- 2 and Tolle), three seeding rates (20, 30 and 40 kg/ha) and four Nitrogen rates (0, 23, 46 and 69 kg N/ha) were used. Data was collected and subjected to analysis of variance using SAS/STAT (Windows 9) (SAS Institute, 2004) software. Mean separation was done using list significant difference (LSD test) . The analysis of variance revealed non-significant difference for grain yield between the two varieties (p<0.05). Seed rate was Significant to affect grain yield but other parameters tasted were not significantly affected by seed rate. Nitrogen rate had a significant effect on all parameters tasted (p<0.05 except seed oil content. Higher seed yield (1734.9 kg/ha) was obtained by the application of 69 kg N/ha but it was not statistically different from the yield obtained by 46kg N/ha (1722.5 kg/ha). Interaction effect was not significant enough to alter seed and biomass yield. Partial economic analysis revealed that seed rate of 30 kg/ha and 46 kg /ha nitrogen fertilizer rate were the optimum rates for linseed production at the study area.

Response of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) to different plant growth regulators

The commercial importance of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) has attracted Agronomist to increase its seed yield using various agronomical and breeding approaches. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have a significant role in enhancing yield and its related traits in linseed. Hence, to find out effect of different growth regulators on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of linseed, the present experiment was conducted under AICRP on Linseed, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. Growth regulator shows significant effect on growth, yield attributes and yield of linseed. Plant height and number of capsules per plant was observed highest and significantly superior after application of 400 ppm Gibberellic acid (GA) and application of 0.1 % Tebuconazole which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. Number of branches and number of capsules per plant were also observed at par in the treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA. The seed yield of linseed was recorded significantly higher in T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA which was at par with T7 i.e. 1.0 ppm Auxin + 200 ppm GA and treatment T3 i.e. 200 ppm GA and treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid. The gross monetary return was found maximum in the treatment T4 i.e. 400 ppm GA, this might be due the maximum seed yield after application of 400 ppm GA, but net monetary return and B:C ratio resulted minimum due to the high market cost of GA (Rs. 9000/- for 400 ppm). Net monetary return and B:C ratio was found maximum in treatment T5 i.e. 75 ppm salicylic acid, this might be due to the low cost of Salicylic acid.

Effect of Nitrogen and Sulphur Levels on Growth and Yield of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) Under Rainfed Condition of Nagaland

Background: Linseed is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the family of Linaceae, having well developed fibrous root system with several lateral roots. It has been grown since ancient times for fibre (flax) and seed, which is rich in oil. The crop has narrow leaves and alternate with shiny yellow or light brown colored seeds. The current investigation was carried out to determine the suitable level of nitrogen and sulphur and their interaction effect on growth and yield of linseed.Methods: A field study was conducted in the experimental site of SASRD, NU during the rabi season with four levels of nitrogen (0,20,40 and 60 kg ha-1) and sulphur (0,20,40 and 60 kg-1) under three replications following RBD, five random plants were tagged from each plot for field observation.Conclusion: Application of 60 kg N ha-1 resulted in highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, bolls plant-1, seed (799.87 kg ha-1) and stover yields (1619.87 kg ha-1), similarly, incorporation of 40 kg S ha-1 recorded significantly higher plant height, number of branches plant-1, bolls plant-1, seed boll-1, yield (797.54 kg ha-1) and stover yields (1557.58 kg ha-1). The combination of 60 kg N and 40 kg S recorded highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, bolls plant-1, seeds boll-1, seed weight plant-1, seed (840.72 kg ha-1) and stover yields (1713.3 kg ha-1)

Transcriptome analysis and molecular mechanism of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) drought tolerance under repeated drought using single-molecule long-read sequencing

BackgroundOil flax (linseed, Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the most important oil crops., However, the increases in drought resulting from climate change have dramatically reduces linseed yield and quality, but very little is known about how linseed coordinates the expression of drought resistance gene in response to different level of drought stress (DS) on the genome-wide level.ResultsTo explore the linseed transcriptional response of DS and repeated drought (RD) stress, we determined the drought tolerance of different linseed varieties. Then we performed full-length transcriptome sequencing of drought-resistant variety (Z141) and drought-sensitive variety (NY-17) under DS and RD stress at the seedling stage using single-molecule real-time sequencing and RNA-sequencing. Gene Ontology (GO) and reduce and visualize GO (REVIGO) enrichment analysis showed that upregulated genes of Z141 were enriched in more functional pathways related to plant drought tolerance than those of NY-17 were under DS. In addition, 4436 linseed transcription factors were identified, and 1190 were responsive to stress treatments. Moreover, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis showed that the proline biosynthesis pathway interacts with stress response genes through RAD50 (DNA repair protein 50) interacting protein 1 (RIN-1). Finally, proline biosynthesis and DNA repair structural gene expression patterns were verified by RT- PCR.ConclusionsThe drought tolerance of Z141 may be related to its upregulation of drought tolerance genes under DS. Proline may play an important role in linseed drought tolerance by maintaining cell osmotic and protecting DNA from ROS damage. In summary, this study provides a new perspective to understand the drought adaptability of linseed.

Line placement of FYM was better than broadcasting in terms of seed yield; and foliar application of urea was economical than Nitrobenzene.

Time of application of fresh cow dung on productivity ofscented rice and its residual effect on linseed

Field experiments were conducted in the organic block of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat (Assam) during 2012-13 under rainfed condition to evaluate the effects of different timings of fresh cow dung application on the productivity of scented rice and its residual effect on succeeding linseed crop. The results revealed that all the timings of fresh cow dung application significantly increased grain and straw yields of scented rice over the control. Among different timings, application of fresh cow dung as 5 t/ha at planting + 2.5 t/ha each at 30 and 45 days after planting (DAP) recorded the highest grain and straw yields but did not differ significantly with the application as 3.4 t/ha + 3.3 t/ha + 3.3 t/ha at 15, 30 and 45 DAP in case of grain yield and with 2.5t/ha each at 7, 15, 30 and 45 DAP in case of straw yield. The residual effect of fresh cow dung on succeeding linseed crop was similar with that of scented rice, however, fresh cow dung applied in four splits as 2.5 t/ha each at 7, 15, 30 and 45 DAP in scented rice produced the highest seed and stover yields of linseed. The trend of available nutrient contents in soil after harvest of both the crops was almost similar with that of the yield of rice and linseed.

The experiment was carried using augmented design with no replication. Accessions showed variation for days to flowering ranged between 77 and 135 days with a mean value of 99.65 and coefficient of variation 13%. Accessions such as acce # 10 077, 10 078, 1 0079, 10 084, 10 086, 10 087, 13 578, 13 598, 13 620 and 13 649 showed earliness, which ranged from 170-172 days to mature, while accessions such as acce # 212 854, 212 857, 215 716, 10 103, 10 104, and 10 105 took 180-182 days to mature. A range of 14.0 to 38.8 was recorded for number of capsule per plant with a mean value of 23.12 and coefficient of variation 19%. Accessions such as acce # 230 822, 10 070, 10 105, 10 086, 10 069, 10 079, 10 052 and 219 969 had number of capsule ranged from 32 -41. A significant amount of variation was also observed for seed yield, which was between 104 kg/ha and 1982 kg/ha with a mean value of 984.37 kg/ha and coefficient of variation 39%. Accessions such as acce # 10 067, 10 061, 10 084, 10 069, 13 755, 10 070, 10 054, 10 068, 241 826, 10 064 and 10 150 were high yielding, which varied between 1 592 kg/ha and 1 990 kg/ha. Correlation coefficient analysis indicated that seed yield had significant positive association with plant height (0.215 9), number of secondary branches (0.204 8), and number of capsule (0.384 6), while it recorded significant negative correlation with days to maturity (-0.142 6) and number of primary branches (-0.298 2). This study has also suggested that number of capsule per plant was found to be the most important yield component for the improvement of seed yield of linseed.
