Abstract
The field experiments were conducted at the Main Agricultural Research
Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, during rabi season 2004, to
study the influence of integrated plant nutrition on crop growth, seed yield and quality
in linseed. The plant nutrition study consisting 14 treatment combinations of
phosphorous, P-solubilizer and organic manures with control was laid out in
Randomised Block Design with three replications. The results indicated that
significantly higher growth and yield components viz., number of capsules per plant
(30.00), number of seeds per capsule (7.52), seed yield per plant (1.84 g), seed yield
per ha (635 kg/ha) and 1000 seed weight (7.9 g) were recorded with combined
application of phosphorous (30 kg/ha), P-solubilizer (200 g/acre of seeds) and
vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) besides higher seed quality parameters compared to other
treatments.
