Abstract
Experimental work with linseed at the Kimberley Research Station began in 1952 and has been intensified in the last four years.
Fertiliser requirements and methods of land preparation, sowing, irrigation and weed control have been established.
Suitable varieties have been selected. Farm-scale crops have been grown in the area and, although cotton is very much more remunerative as an establishment crop, it is expected that linseed will ultimately have a place in the Ord irrigation scheme.
