“…In the 1970-71 trial, 51 kg/ha of seed was used, i.e. the minimum level favoured in Kenya (Savile and Wright, 1958). Seeds were sown at a depth of 1-5 cm in drills 45 cm apart just above the furrow water line, giving two rows of plants per furrow.…”

SUMMARYForty-six cultivars of linseed oil (Linum usitatissimum L.) were grown under wet and dry season conditions in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria. Only during the dry season was production good and cv Dunes consistently outyielded all other cultivars in terms of seed and oil content. Trials of sowing dates gave maximum seed yield and oil content from plots sown during late October. In row spacing trials, rows 15–22 cm apart and seed rates of 58–78 kg/ha were found to be the most practicable. There was a linear relation between increasing rates of nitrogen and seed yield, maximum production being obtained at 55–88 kg N/ha, but oil content was slightly depressed at levels above 33 kg N/ha.
