Abstract

Sowing of suitable variety at optimum time is of primary importance among various factors responsible for higher yield of linseed. To ascertain the optimum date of sowing for linseed genotypes, an experiment comprising of three dates of sowing (i.e. October last week, November 2nd week and November 3rd week) and four genotypes (viz. 'RLC-100', 'KL-221', 'LC-54'and 'Janaki') was conducted at Palampur during rabi 2006-07. The crop sown on October last week gave significantly higher yield over November sown crop because of higher plant stand, growth and more capsules per plant. 'KL-221'and 'LC-54' being at par with zonal check (Janaki) resulted in significantly taller plants and higher primary branches and seed yield. 'KL-221' yielded significantly higher over other tested genotypes when it was sown during October last week.
