Abstract

Welen (PGRC/E 16033xCI-1652/36), is a common name for the linseed variety developed through hybridization and continuous selections using pedigree method. The national Oil Crops research program objectively works on the development and release of resistance Oil Crops variety for Linseed disease with high grain yield and good quality. Welen produced better seed yield kg/ha than the standard check Furtu. It had medium height brown seed variety, days to heading and days to maturing period of linseed was selected and developed by Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center for Arsi and West Arsi Zones and similar agro-ecologies of linseed growing areas of Ethiopia. Specifically, it was tested at Kulumsa, Bekoji, Asasa and Kofele for two years (2015/16 to 2016/17) and verified in 2017/2018 at 2018/2019 official release. As a result, Welen consistently produced better mean seed and oil yields than the standard check (Furtu) and the local check over two years. The results of the multi-location trials revealed that Welen was superior in seed and oil yields performance across years and locations. Besides, it is stable, best adapted, having large number of capsules per plant, high tillering capacity, thousand seed weight, and oil content, moderately resistant to powdery mildew (Oidium sp.), pasmo (Septoria linicola) and wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini) diseases.
