A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 at Oil Seed Research Farm of C S Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The experiment consisted 9 treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1, T3: Foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% at 45 DAS, T4: Soil Application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Foliar application of ZnSO4 @0.5% at 45 DAS, T5: Soil application Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1, T6: Foliar application of Borax @ 0.3 % at 45 DAS, T7: Soil application of Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 Foliar application of Borax @ 0.3 % at 45 DAS, T8: Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS and T9: Soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 in soil assigned in Randomized Block Design with three replication. The Linseed cv Shekhar was used in the experiment. The results in significantly maximum plant stand, plant height, yield attributes: Days to 50% flowering and maturity, Number of capsules plant-1 and number of seeds capsule-1, 1000-seed weight (g) was significantly affected by T9 and T8 treatments. The highest 1000-seed weight (8.97) under (T9) treatment were soil application of ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 + Borax @ 1.5 kg ha-1 at the time of sowing as compared to all the treatments except treatment No.(T8 ) Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS under limited irrigation of central Uttar Pradesh.
