effect of different fertilizers [urea, diammonium phosphate and mixed] on growth, oil and cake contents of two varieties of linum usitatissimum Linn

ABSTRACT

The effect of different fertilizers [urea, di-ammonium phosphate and mixed] on growth behaviour, and oil contents of seeds of Linum usitatissimum were studied. The plants were of the height of 45.0 and 27.30 cms treated with urea in both the verieties. The number of capsules were 180 and 75 per plant and oil percentage was 44.0 and 41.0, that was maximum in plant treated with mixed [di-ammonium phosphate + urea] in both the varieties. But the percentage of cake was maximum [68.40 and 73.0] in control in both the varieties of plant in pot and field experiments simultaneously
