The influence of the level of mineral nutrition and rate of seed sowing on yield and fatty acid composition of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) in the Non-chernozem zone of Russia was studied. It was shown that the level of mineral fertilizers N - 90, P2O5 - 60, and K2O - 60 kg/ha under the rate of sowing of 8 million seeds/ha provided maximum seed yield of 1.94 t/ha. A clear correlation between oil content and rate of sowing has not been established. Under an increasing level of mineral nutrition, oil content was slightly increased. The composition of oil was slightly changed under the influence of the studied factors.

CDC Bethune, is a medium-late-maturing oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) developed by Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This cultivar has medium oil content, medium oil quality, medium seed size, good lodging resistance and high yield when seeded early in the Black and the Brown Soil zones of the prairies. It is immune to North American races of rust caused by Melampsora lini and moderately resistant to wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini. Key words: Flax, oilseed, Linum usitatissimum L., cultivar description

CDC Buryu, a late maturing oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), was registered in 2016 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This cultivar had yield (106%) comparable to CDC Bethune and a maturity rating equal to Flanders in all soil zones of the Northern Prairies. The yield advantage over CDC Bethune was greater (>8%) in the Brown soil and Black soil zones of the Northern Prairies. It had medium oil content, oil quality, and seed size and good lodging resistance. It is immune to North American rust (race 371) caused by Melampsora lini and moderately resistant to wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lini and powdery mildew caused by Oidium lini.

Three fibre flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars, Hera, Natasja and Reina, and the oilseed cultivar Dufferin were tested at Hagen in 1977 and 1978 under rainfed conditions, and at Saskatoon in 1977 and Outlook in 1978 under irrigation. The tests included four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha) and three seeding rates (50, 100 and 150 kg/ha). In addition, these four cultivars plus the fibre cultivar Budalak were evaluated under rainfed conditions at Saskatoon in 1977. In every test, except the Saskatoon rainfed, straw yields of the fibre cultivars were significantly greater than of Dufferin. Nitrogen fertilizer increased straw production and straw yields responded linearly to seed rate increases. Without exception, Dufferin had the greatest yield of seed and had approximately 3% higher oil content.
