Winter linseed variety?

[moretimeforgolf]

I’m looking at potentially switching some of my break crop into winter linseed next year.
Just wondering which varieties people would say are reliable? And possibly ones to avoid?!!

Alpagga here for the last 4 yrs seems okay haven't grown anything else yet but that's what premium crops want us to grow.

Thanks for that. It seems to be the most widely mentioned variety. Have you ever sprayed Crawler on it? Did it recover ok?

Never sprayed it with crawler, but linseed is very sensitive and have to be very careful with sprays and mixes. Damaged one crop with liquid fert one year with a cool breeze blowing, dont use liquid n on it anymore.

Thanks, not something that Premium Crops would highlight! Want to grow it with few inputs other than herbicides as required.

We are growing Attila winter Lin. It's established well so will see how it goes.

Various options out there - sideral is also another largely grown, brown type with plenty of outlets, also to note, orival which is a yellow, human consumption type, faster moving off the farm, generally higher value to...can help when the times right.....

Not too sensitive if you leave the treatment until the linseed is not actively growing, ie after several frosts, also needed if linseed is being used on bad BG land as clethodim is getting poor on BG in certain areas,
