abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of agro-input management practices on productivity and profitability of flax and dual-purpose linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) at the Instructional-cum Research Farm, IGKV, Raipur (C. G.) during rabi 2021-22 & 2022-23 and the results obtained are discussed here on the basis of two years mean data. The recommended dose of fertilizer was taken 60:30:30 N, P₂O₅ and K₂O kg ha^-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with two replications. The experiment consisted treatments of four varieties viz. V₁: RLC-148, V₂: JLS-95, V₃: JRF-2 and V₄: RLC-92, three spacing viz., S₁: 15 cm, S₂: 22.5 cm, S₃: 30 cm and three levels of nitrogen viz., N₁: 100% N, N₂: 150% N, N₃: 200% N. Data revealed that the highest value of seed yield (19.40 q ha^-1) were recorded with variety JLS-95 (V₂), spacing 30 cm (S₃) and 200% N (N₃). However highest stover yield (27.13 q ha^-1), gross return (2,79,746 Rs. ha^-1), net return (2,26,444 Rs. ha^-1) and B:C ratio (4.24) was recorded with V₃ (JRF-2) along with treatment N₃ (200% N) and S₃: 30 cm followed by V₁: RLC-148 and V₄: RLC-92.
