ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to study the fibre yield, quality parameter and economics of linseed as influenced by intercropping system of safflower and linseed under rainfed condition during 2015-16 at the Main Agricultural Research Station, Raichur with Randomized Complete Block Design with 7 treatments replicated four times. Safflower (cv. S-144) and linseed (cv. NL-115) were intercropped in 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 and 2:2 row proportions at 30 cm rows each and both crops were grown as sole crops at their recommended row spacing (60 cm for safflower and 30 cm for linseed), along with these mixed cropping of safflower and linseed were also included. The significantly higher fibre yield was noticed in sole linseed (1175 kg ha-1) and significantly higher oil yield and oil content of linseed were recorded with their pure stands of the crops. But as when compare with different intercropping system the highest fibre yield of linseed was significantly recorded in Safflower + linseed (1:2) 30 cm rows (280 kg ha?1) and the highest oil yield of linseed was significantly recorded in safflower + linseed (1:2) 30 cm rows (82 kg ha-1). Higher gross returns (` 42,158 ha-1), net returns (` 23,212 ha-1) and B: C (2.22) were recorded in safflower + linseed in 1:2 row proportion fallowed by sole linseed (` 19,376 and 2.17, respectively).
