EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING AND MOISTURE CONSERVATION PRACTICES AGAINST LINSEED WILTD.R. Wagh, K.P. Verma, R.K. Dantre and S.J. WaghmareAbstract This experiment was carried out under field conditions in the field of Agronomy department during the Rabi 2008-09 cropping season, IGKV, Raipur to assess the effect of intercropping and moisture conservation practices against linseed wilt. The plot size was 4.2 × 4m and susceptible cultivar, Kartika was intercropped with Wheat + Linseed (2:2), Wheat + Linseed (4:4), Wheat + Linseed (6:4), Gram + Linseed (2:2), Gram + Linseed (4:4), Gram + Linseed (6:4), Lentil + Linseed (2:2), Lentil + Linseed (4:4), Lentil + Linseed (6:4), Sole Linseed. For moisture conservation susceptible cultivar, LMH-62 were sown in rainfed condition. The percent mortality was lowest in the treatment T7 Lentil + Linseed (2:2) (10.86 %) followed by T5 Gram + Linseed (4:4) (11.90 %), T3 Wheat + Linseed (6:4) (12.75 %) over the control. The percent mortality was lowest in the treatment T2 straw mulching @ 10 t/ha (33.27 %) followed by T4 Incorporation of FYM in the soil @ 10 t/ha (44.42 %) over the control.
