Narrative

Resistant to all known North America races of flax rust (Melampsora lini). More susceptible to wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) than McGregor as evaluated at Fargo, ND and Morden, Manitoba. Better oil content (39.4%) than McGregor (37.3%). Excellent linolenic acid content (55.5%) as compared to McGregor (52.2%). The high linolenic acid content is also reflected in a very high Iodine Value. Better tolerance to Pasmo (Septoria linicola) than McGregor. Small seeded (4.3 g/1000 seeds), blue flowers, brown seed coat (up to 0.5% yellow seeds), medium height (63 cm) with excellent lodging tolerance. Seed yield better than McGregor (107% of McGregor over 39 trials). Adapted to the north-central flax-growing region of the U.S.
