520 _aOilseeds play an essential part of the national economy. Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the important non-edible oilseed crop which has a significant importance due to its use as fibre and oilseed crop with multiple industrial uses. It is cultivated under an area of 1.96 lakh ha with production of 1.26 lakh tonnes and productivity of 642 kg ha-1 in India. India has achieved a significant progress in agriculture production, particularly in cereals. However, from the point of dietary standards, economic and other associated consideration, the production of oilseed has been identified as the thrust area for stepping up oilseed production. Moreover, numerous research investigations on the impact of fertilizers on the development and production of linseed varieties have demonstrated their ability to improve both the quality and quantity of linseed cultivars. In light of this, a field study entitled “Performance of Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) Varieties under Different Organic Nutrient Sources” was carried in 2023 during rabi season at College of Agriculture (CAU-I), Kyrdemkulai, Ri-Bhoi district of Meghalaya. The three linseed varieties (T-397, RLC-163 and NDL-2014-15) were grown under four combinations of organic nutrient sources (vermicompost, biofertilizer, Beejamrutha and Jeevamrutha). The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized block design with three replications for all treatments. Result showed that growth attributes such as plant height (66.03 cm), number of branches plant-1 (10.08), dry matter accumulation (8.76 g plant-1) and yield attributes such as capsules plant-1 (47.67), number of seeds capsule-1 (9.18), seed yield (680 kg ha-1), straw yield (1733.97 kg ha-1) and biological yield (2413.97 kg ha-1) were significantly higher from the combined application of Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha, vermicompost and biofertilizer. Moreover, this combined application of Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha, vermicompost and biofertilizer has shown to improve the post-harvest soil nutrient status as compared to the other nutrient management practices. With regards to economics, highest net returns (₹ 21,384 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.73) were recorded with application of Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha and biofertilizer. Among the varieties, the variety NDL-2014-15 performed better over the other two varieties (T-397 and RLC-163) in terms of growth attributes such as plant height (63.00 cm), number of branches plant-1 (9.00), dry matter accumulation (8.11 g plant-1) and yield attributes such as number of capsules plant-1 (43.50), number of seeds capsule-1 (9.12), seed yield (663.50 kg ha-1), straw yield (1603.71 kg ha-1) and biological yield (2267.21 kg ha-1). Highest net returns (₹ 18,270 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.55) were also recorded in the variety NDL-2014-15 in comparison with the other two varieties. Our investigation found that the combined application of different bio-inputs (Beejamrutha, Jeevamrutha, vermicompost @1.5 t ha-1 and biofertilizer) and the linseed variety, NDL-2014-15 performed better over other treatments and varieties tested.
