Abstract

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the most important oil crops in the highlands of Ethiopia and it is considered as the least expensive source for oil related home consumptions. Linseed is an important, yet under-utilized oilseed crop of the world. It can be used as food and feed, as raw material for pharmaceuticals, industrial use, textile industries etc. It is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acid and can be used as a substitute for non-fish eaters. Kuma (R734D x B-96/111) is a common name for the linseed variety developed through a local cross between released variety (Belay-96) and a variety developed through mutation breeding obtained from Holetta Agricultural Research Center/HARC and released in 2015 for highland areas of Arsi and West Arsi zones and other similar agro-ecologies of Ethiopia. Kuma was selected, developed and released 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 (2012/13 – 2013/14). The two consecutive years’ (2012/13 – 2013/14) tests proved its superiority in grain yield performance, stability and wide adaptation. It has good physical grain quality, resistance to powdery mildew and wilt, moderate resistance to pasmo, lodging tolerance and good biomass yield. The results of the multi-location trials revealed that Yadanno was superior in seed and oil yields performance across years and locations. The variety’s agronomic and quality merits and better performance than the checks make it dependable for similar agro-ecologies considered in the study.
