Description :
The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with 12
treatments
combinations of four levels of sulphur i e. 0, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha

with common dose of three
genotypes of linseed were NL

season. The pH value of
soil ranged from 7.72 to 7.55 at sulphur level @ 0 kg ha

respectively indicating pH
decreases significantly with increase in sulphur levels. The highest pH value (7.72) was observed at
sulphur level @ 0 kg ha

the lowest pH value (7.55) observed in treatment sulphur level @ 20 kg ha

respectively indicating EC decreases significantly with
increase in sulphur levels.
Organic carbon content in soil ranged from 0.51 to 0.56% after harvest of linseed under the influenced of
various sulphur levels was significantly increased due to sulphur application. The highest (0.56%) organic
carbon content
in soil was recorded with sulphur @ 20 kg ha

(0.55%),
lowest organic carbon content was (0.51%) recorded in control plot. After harvest of linseed, due to
application of sulphur increased the availability of nutrients c
