An experiment was conducted during Rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Research Farm of Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand to study “The effect of Zinc and Boron on uptake, yield and quality of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments comprised soil application of Zn @ 5 kg/ha, foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% at 45 DAS, soil application of Zn @ 5 kg/ha + foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% at 45 DAS, soil application of B @ 1.5 kg/ha, foliar application of Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS, soil application of B @ 1.5 kg/ha + foliar application of Borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS, foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + foliar application of Borax @ 0.3 % at 45 DAS, soil application of Zn @ 5 kg/ha + soil application of B @ 1.5 kg/ha compared with control along with RDF (40:20:20 kg NPK/ha) common to all treatments. Foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + foliar application of borax @ 0.3% at 45 DAS was found superior in terms of seed yield, straw yield, oil content, oil yield, zinc and boron concentration in seed and straw, zinc and boron concentration in soil after harvest and zinc and boron uptake by seed and straw in both years of experimentation.
