Variety traits

Yield — Flax

Linum usitatissimum L.

Flax yield is assessed separately for fiber production and seeds, based on the specific end-use objectives of the crop: fiber flax cultivation and oilseed flax cultivation.

In the reference 136 varieties crop Common flax, where this is mentioned in the description.

The yield of fiber flax is determined by the mass of flax straw, retted flax, or fiber, measured in t/ha or c/ha. The key structural elements of productivity here are plant height. For oilseed flax, the primary metric is seed harvest, which depends on the degree of branching and the number of bolls per plant.

Average productivity indicators for oilseed flax in Russia are 8–10 c/ha, with target values of 20–25 c/ha for modern high-yielding varieties. Under optimal conditions, flax straw yields can reach 5–6 t/ha or more.

When calculating yield, parameters such as plant stand density, 1000-seed weight, and the number of seeds per boll are taken into account. Modern breeding is focused on developing varieties that ensure stable output at reduced seeding rates in the range of 400–450 viable seeds per square meter.
