Abstract:

Fibrous flax, despite its many different uses, is currently growing within a relatively small area, mainly because of the low production margin. This study shows possible approaches to the reduce production costs of flax fibre by 424 PLN per hectare as a result of no-tillage cultivation and direct sowing. No such research on flax fibre production has been conducted so far. The study (carried in 2011-2012) covered highly differentiated temperature and precipitation conditions. The yields of homomorphic fibre in a dry year were higher than in a year with optimum precipitation in the no-till system comparing to conventional tillage. The application of Chisel 75WG increased the yield of fibre regardless of the weather and cultivation system and was the result of both straw yield and fibre content increase. Tillage systems and herbicides differentiated the length and linear density of homomorphic fibre and impurity content, whereas the elongation at break and tenacity did not depend on the cultivation method.
