Effect of sowing dates, seed rates and sulfur levels on growth, yield, quality and moisture use of rainfed linseed.

摘要

A field experiment was conducted in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India during 2000-01 and 2001-02 to evaluate the effects of sowing date, seed rate and S rates (0, 20 and 40 kg/ha) on the growth, yield, quality and moisture use of rainfed linseed. The sowing dates were 18 and 30 October, and 11 November. Significant improvement in growth and yield traits, seed yield, oil content, oil yield, protein content, protein yield, S uptake, consumptive water use, water use efficiency, net returns and output:input ratio under 30 October sowing, 30 kg seed rate and S at 20 kg./ha.
