Studies on Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) based Intercropping Systems as Influenced by Integreted Nutrient Management on Yield and Economics under Moisture Scarce Condition

With growing population the demand of water for various purposes is ever increasing. On the other hand, the availability of water resources is limited in space and time. A systematic and scientific planning for its optimal utilization is high imperative. The scarcity of water regarded as the most important factors in crop production, is usually a limiting factor in semi-arid regions. To meet the future food demands for water among various sectors, a more efficient use of water will be essential (Bhatt et al., 2016).
