Flaxseed can be consumed as food or feed, besides being used for various other purposes, has a percentage of protein in equal proportion of fibers and mostly oil, usually the product of interest in culture can be grown brown and golden flaxseed. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of population densities in the culture of brown flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) using the online system of planting, being spaced at 0.45 m. The experiment was conducted at the State University of West Paraná, year 2013 campus, using a completely randomized design with eight systems of planting density: 67, 84, 99, 117, 137, 154, 172 and 190 plants/m2 with six replicates, we performed 130 days after harvesting crops. The vegetative behavior was assessed following the variables fenometric plant height, stem diameter, number of branches of the stem, fresh and dry mass of the aerial part of the plant, number of capsules, fresh and dry seeds. Evaluating the data plotted in generated by applying the Tukey test, the table can not infer the best for high density planting of brown flaxseed aiming to yield grain, only it was noted that high density below 99 plants/m2 reduce productivity in grain brown.
