Linseed is recognized as one of the important industrial crops due to high iodine value and quick drying property of its oil. However, production of linseed is not keeping pace with increasing demand of its products. The cultivation of linseed is restricted mostly to marginal and submarginal lands under limited supply of fertilizer and irrigation, resulting in low crop yield. Among the agro-techniques that can increase its productivity, judicious application of nutrients, particularly the NPK and Sulphur play the important role. Studies have demonstrated the importance of Sulphur nutrition and interaction between S and NPK in optimizing seed and oil yield in oilseeds. The proper selection of genotype is equally important in realizing the high yield of linseed. Therefore, in view of the above facts, the authors of this book carried out an investigation to study the effect of NPK, sulphur and variety on growth, yield and quality of irrigated linseed varieties and compiled the research findings in this book titled "Nutrient Management of Irrigated Linseed Cultivars" which can be used as a reference book by the student and researcher in the galaxy of oilseed research.
