Acomparative experiment of two dual purpose flax breeding lines with
selected standard varieties were conducted. The aim of the study was
to assess the economic value of genotypes obtained as a result of breeding
conducted at the Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants in Poznań,
Poland.
Dual purpose varieties, which combine the traits of fiber flax and linseed in
a single genotype, make it possible to increase the economic viability of flax
cultivation. The initial variety in these cultivars, depending on the main purpose,
may be either oily forms in which the straw and fiber yield is increased, or
fibrous forms in which the seed yields are to be significantly increased.
In the presented experiment, two breeding lines of dual purpose flax (R-
3/59/10 and R-26/62/10), as well as linseed varieties: Bukoz, Szafir, Jantarol
and Amon were evaluated in terms of plant height, total yield, straw yield, seed
yield, thousand seeds weight and fusarium resistance. The assessment of
resistance was carried out in a field where 5 species of fungi of the genus
fusarium were introduced to the ground before sowing,. These were the most
common species causing plant infestation (fusarium wilt).
The obtained results showed a high value of the R-3/59/10 line in terms of all
tested functional traits, in the context of its use as a dual purpose form. Further
breeding work will therefore refer to the registration of line R-3/59/10 as a new
variety of cultivated flax.

dual purpose flax genotypes in comparison to
