Determination of agronomic and technological properties of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars planted at different time in Diyarbakir conditions date

This study was carried out in order to determine suitable for sowing conditions the flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) genotypes, in Dicle University Faculty of Agriculture in 2018. Two different sowing times were established according to the randomized complete block split plot design and four replications. In the study, 8 different flax genotypes (Sandra, Zoltan, Norman, Sarı-85, Tre-Kvd16-7, Milas-2, Mikael, Leinsman) were examined in terms of yield and oil components. In this study were examined in terms of properties such as plant height, branch height, first branch height, number of capsules, seed yield in the plant, 1000 grain weight, yield, crude oil content and the amount of fatty acids. According to the results of study, plant height were changed from, 53.25 to 31.43 cm; number of branches from 11.6 to 6.11 number/plant; capsule number varied between 41.72-16.35 number/plant. Raw oil ratios varied between 29.10- 47.29 %, linolenic acid 37.66-50.09 %, oleic acid 22.83-30.06%, linoleic acid 11.40% -19.79, palmitic acid 5.87-7.37 % .
