INFLUENCE OF CROP WEATHER RELATIONSHIP ON LINSEED VARIETIES UNDER DIFFERENT DATES OF SOWING
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
A study was carried out to identify suitable variety and influence of sowing dates on yield of linseed during Rabi season of 2014-2015 with linseed variety PKV NL-260 and NL-97 on field No. 11 of Agronomy farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was conducted out in Split Plot Design with eight treatment combinations replicated thrice consisting four levels of sowing date i.e. 40th MW (D1-1st to 7th October), 41st MW(D1-8th to 14th October), 42nd MW (D1-15th to 21st October), 43rd MW (D1-22nd to 28th October) and two varieties i.e. PKV NL-260 (V1) and NL-97 (V2). Various sowing dates significantly influenced the growth and yield of linseed varieties. Sowing of different varieties under different dates significantly influenced the plant height and various yield contributing characters such as number of capsule plant-1, seed yield plant-1, straw yield plant-1, seed yield qha-1, straw yield qha-1 and biological yield (qha-1).Among the two cultivars, PKV-NL-260 recorded the higher growth and yield attributing characters which results in significantly higher seed yield over the variety NL-97. In case of weather parameters, temperature requirement is highest when crop was sown on 41st MW than rest of the sowing dates. Relative humidity requirement of linseed is highest when crop sown on 42nd MW than rest of the sowing dates. From this, study it is concluded that agro-meteorological, sowing of linseed crop on 41st MW i.e. 8th to 14th October was found suitable while variety PKV-NL-260 performed better than NL-97.
