A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, (C.G.) during Rabi 2015-16. The soil of the experimental field was clay in texture (Vertisols), neutral in pH (6.68), normal in EC (0.18 m mhos m-1 at 25^oC), medium in organic carbon (0.50%) and had low in available nitrogen (226 kg ha-1), medium in phosphorus (12.64 kg ha-1), and high in available potassium (367 kg ha-1) contents. The linseed var. ‘RLC-92’sown on 22nd Nov, 2015 using experimental techniques of factorial randomized block design with three replications and eighteen treatments. The treatment consisted of two seed rate viz. 25 kg ha-1 (S1), 30 kg ha-1 (S2), three nutrient management viz. RDF 60:30:30 N, P2O5 & K2O Kg ha-1 (N1), RDF + Incorporation of FYM @ 5 t ha-1 (N2), RDF + FYM placement in rows @ 5 t ha-1 (N3) and three foliar of water spray at 15, 40, 65 and 90 DAS (F1), foliar spray of Nitrobenzene @ 0.06% at 15, 40, 65 and 90 DAS (F2) and foliar spray of 2% urea at 15, 40, 65 and 90 DAS (F3). Recommended agronomic practices were followed for raising linseed. The crop was harvested on 12th March, 2016 for seed yield purpose.
