- Observation Oilseed flax cultivars tended to be shorter than fibre cultivars.
- Observation Oilseed flax cultivars tended to have lower fibre content and above-ground biomass than fibre cultivars.
- Intervention effect At recommended linseed seeding rates, planting geometry did not affect seed and fibre yields.
- Intervention effect Increasing the seeding rate from 40 to 120 kg ha -1 did not affect flax seed yield.
- Intervention effect Increasing seeding rate did not affect flax fibre content.
- Intervention effect Higher seeding rates increased stem numbers.
- Intervention effect Higher seeding rates decreased stem size and variability in stem size.
- Intervention effect Higher seeding rates increased fibre yield.
- Intervention effect Planting at the end of May increased fibre yield by 35% on average.
- Observation Cultivars had similar relative seed and fibre yield responses under solid seed and narrow band geometries.
- Recommendation Breeders can select higher fibre producing lines with narrow band seed openers spaced up to 30 cm apart.
