10 Climate Linseed crop love to grow in temperate and sub temperate zone

11 Soil Prepration Pure fertile soil is required for linseed with 1 to 1.5 organic matter in the soil Soil should be free of weeds Land should be well prepared with 3 ploughing and 2 planking Land should be well leveled for the equally distribution of fertilizer and water

12 Sowing Time Irrigated Areas : 15 Oct to 15 Nov
Rainfed Areas : st Oct to 15 Nov

13 Seed Rate Irrigated Areas : 6kg /acre & 15kg/ha
Rainfed Areas : kg/acre & 20kg/ha

14

15 Method Of Sowing We can sowing linseed crop with drill
Plant to Plant Distance : cm Row to Row Distance : to 45 cm

16 Irrigation 3 to 4 irrigation depends upon the rain fall
1st irrigation 15 to 20 days after germination 2nd irrigation at flowering time 3rd irrigation at the time of seed developing

29 Many other uses of linseed
Linseed In Animal Feed Livestock and chicken Aids digestion and fortifies eggs Linseed oil is also use as painting agent specializer paper particleboard vernish

30 Production constrains
No availability of high yielding varieties No availability of good seed Lake of awareness about production technology Improper marketing
