A comparative experiment of two dual purpose flax breeding lines with selected standard varieties were conducted. The aim of the study was to assess the economic value of genotypes obtained as a result of breeding conducted at the Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants in Pozna�?�?, Poland. Dual purpose varieties, which combine the traits of fiber flax and linseed in a single genotype, make it possible to increase the economic viability of flax cultivation. The initial variety in these cultivars, depending on the main purpose, may be either oily forms in which the straw and fiber yield is increased, or fibrous forms in which the seed yields are to be significantly increased. In the presented experiment, two breeding lines of dual purpose flax (R- 3/59/10 and R-26/62/10), as well as linseed varieties: Bukoz, Szafir, Jantarol and Amon were evaluated in terms of plant height, total yield, straw yield, seed yield, thousand seeds weight and fusarium resistance. The assessment of resistance was carried out in a field where 5 species of fungi of the genus fusarium were introduced to the ground before sowing,. These were the most common species causing plant infestation (fusarium wilt). The obtained results showed a high value of the R-3/59/10 line in terms of all tested functional traits, in the context of its use as a dual purpose form. Further breeding work will therefore refer to the registration of line R-3/59/10 as a new variety of cultivated flax.
