Economics of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) under Various Combination of Sulphur and Zinc

Abstract

A study was conducted to work out the economics of various treatment combinations calculates the economics of sulphur and zinc under linseed (Linum usitatissimum) Crop, to calculate economics of sulphur and zinc. For the present study factorial randomized block design was used keeping three replications. Among the S and Zn level treatments performed the best with the highest grain productivity up to 19.84 q ha-1, net return up to Rs. 77360 ha-1. Treatment interactions were found to be non-significant in grain yield – However, the combined application of sulphur @ 30 Kg/ha and Zinc 2.5 Kg/ha level treatments with dual further raised all these parameters synergistically according to their combined role. Economy in the uses of phosphatic fertilizers may be done with application S and Zn level treatments. The total availability of nutrients i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium per hectare were also increased in all these treatments with suggests that soil must be recouped every year with NPK nutrients with a minimum level on soil test values and the nature of the crop to be grown. This would maintain the nutrients balance in the soil to ensure sustainable crop production per unit area.
