The new spring false flax variety Krepysh

A new variety of spring false flax Krepysh was developed by a method of individual selection from a Yubilyar population at the Siberian experimental station - a branch of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crop. The main features of the variety are decreased contents of erucic acid and glucosinolates in oil - by 0.3% and 0.8 µmol/g, respectively, comparing to the standard variety Omich and large seeds - 2.2-2.5 g. The new variety is characterized with a high potential yield, which exceeded the standard variety by 0.20 t/ha. The cultivation of the spring false flax variety Krepysh allows obtaining products with low erucic acid content suitable for food usage.
