Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the effect of sowing dates on yield attributes and yield of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) varieties under rainfed condition at Agriculture Research farm, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkhand. The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications. Crops were sown on 15th November, 1st December, 15th December and 31st December with four linseed varieties viz. BAU-06-03, BAU-2012-01, BAU-13-01 and Shekhar. Crop sown on 15th November which was significantly superior over 31st December sown crop while significant difference among the cultivars, Shekhar found to be significantly maximum in yield attributes (number of capsule per plant, number of seed per capsule and test weight), yield (Seed yield kg/ha, Straw yield kg/ha and Harvest Index %) and economics of linseed production (Gross return Rs./ha, Net retu...
