Vimy is a medium-early and high-yielding oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) released by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan. It is large seeded, has a high oil content of excellent quality, is immune to all North American races of rust (Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lév.) and is moderately resistant to fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. lini (Bolley) Snyd. & Hansen). In western Canada, Vimy is particularly well adapted to the Black soils, outside the Red River Valley, and the Brown soils. As Vimy has only fair resistance to lodging it is not recommended for growing in areas with high rainfall or under irrigation.Key words: Linum usitatissimum, flax, oilseed, cultivar description
