Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of
Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during rabi
seasons of the years 2019-20 to study the “Nitrogen management through organic
sources in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) under irrigated condition”. The
experimental field had an even topography with a gentle slope having good drainage
and loamy sand in texture. The soil of the experimental field at 0-15 cm depth was
low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus and
potassium and slightly alkaline in reaction. The ten treatments of organic sources of
nitrogen viz., 100% RDF (60-30-0 NPK kg/ha) (T1), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through
FYM (T2), N equivalent to 60 kg/ha through vermicompost (T3), N equivalent to 60
kg/ha through castor cake (T4), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM + NPK
consortium as seed treatment (T5), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through vermicompost +
NPK consortium as seed treatment (T6), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through castor cake
+ NPK consortium as seed treatment (T7), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through FYM +
NPK consortium as soil application (T8), N equivalent to 45 kg/ha through
vermicompost + NPK consortium as soil application (T9) and N equivalent to 45
kg/ha through castor cake + NPK consortium as soil application (T10) were tested in
Randomized Completely Block Design with 4 replications.
