Efficacy of cultural method of weed control on growth, yield and quality of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-2015 at the College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the effect of weed management practices on growth, yield and quality of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.). Growth parameters, yield attributes, oil yield and seed yield were higher with lower weed count and weed dry weight in treatment (T11) weed free (interculturing followed by hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS).
