In 2023, Sindh Agricultural University specifically focused on agriculture students at Tando Jam for the research. The selected nitrogen and potassium concentration rates are T1 = (Control) No Fertilizers, T2 = 25 kg/ha (N) + 15 kg/ha (K), T3 = 30 kg/ha (N) + 20 kg/ha (K), T4 = 35 kg/ha (N) + 25 kg/ha (K), T5 = 40 kg/ha (N) + 30 kg/ha (K), T6 = 45 kg/ha (N) + 35 kg/ha (K), T7 = 50 kg/ha (N) + 40 kg/ha (K), T8 = 55 kg/ha (N) + 45 kg/ha (K), T9 = 60 kg/ha (N) + 50 kg/ha (K). Our findings uncovered notable disparities in the growth and yield of flaxseed. When applying Treatment 9 = 60 kg/ha of nitrogen and 50 kg/ha of potassium, the plant's height reached 96.00 cm, with 5.71 branches and a dry weight of 12.55 g per plant. The growth rate was measured at 5.39 g/m2/day, while the relative growth rate 0.023 g/g/day, seed/capsule ratio was 9.42, Capsule/plant 45.01, Test weight of seeds was 8.80 grams, seed yield t/ha of 1.20, stove yield t/ha 2.82. Following closely, T8 = 55 kg/ha nitrogen + 45 kg/ha potassium. It shows that the plant height is 94.09 cm, number of branches is 5.46, dry weight (g/plant) is 12.18 g, plant growth rate (g/m2/day) is 5.39 g/m2, relative growth rate (g/g/day) 0.023 g, seed/capsule ratio 9.02, Capsule/plant 43.06, Test weight of seeds 8.15 grams, seed yield t/ha of 1.20, and stove yield t/ha 2.56. On the other hand, the control group (Treatment 1 = no fertilizer) minimum plant height of 78.5 cm, number of branches 4.15, dry weight (g/plant) 08.14 g, crop growth rate (g/m2) 3.20 g/m2, relative growth rate (g/g/day): 0.008 g/g, seed/capsule: 7.19, capsule/plant: 30.35, test weight (g): 5.12 g, seed yield (t/ha): 0.72 t/ha, stove yield (t/ha): 2.16 t/ha. Conversely, the control group (T1 = no fertilizer) recorded the lowest values. The results revealed that administering 60 kg/ha of nitrogen and 50 kg/ha of potassium exhibited advantageous effects on both the growth and yield of flaxseed, surpassing the untreated control group, which received no fertilization.
