Abstract
To study the effects of row spacings on the agronomic and quality characteristics of three cultivars of flax, a split-plot design experiment of four replications was undertaken in 1969 and 1970 on a Kahola silt clay loam soil at the irrigated farm of the College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad. Row spacings of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 cm were used as subplots and cvs. Moroccan 10, Moroccan 50 and Indian 68 were used as main-plots. Seed and oil yields, number of bolls per plant, number of seeds per boll and weight of 1,000 seeds were unaffected by varying row spacings. Oil percentage decreased and iodine value increased as row spacing increased. Flax cultivars reacted similarly to row spacings for all traits studied. There was a year × row spacing interaction for iodine value.
