Abstract
Field experiment was conducted to find out the performance of exogenous application of water-soluble fertilizers on growth, yield and economics of utera linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) during rabi season of 2020-21 at research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) revealed that two times foliar sprays of NPK 19:19:19 @ 1.0 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.5% at flowering and capsule development stage recorded highest capsules/plant (34.98), seed yield (996.98 kg ha-l), oil content (36.23 %), net return (`40768 ha-l) whereas stover yield (2080.67 kg ha-l), B:C ratio (1.84) and plant height (56.75 cm) were recorded highest with RDF + two sprays of urea @ 2.0 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.5 % however, primary branches plant-l (4.73), secondary branches plant-l (17.12), dry weight (398.58 g-2) were highest with RDF + two sprays of NPK 13:0:45@1.0 % + ZnSO4 @ 0.5 %.
