The Flax Institute offers consumers seed production methods and technologies for obtaining original fiber flax seeds under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners to conclude a technical cooperation agreement.

Purpose: Obtaining original fiber flax seeds.

Brief description of the development.
New, more productive methods and technologies for selecting fiber flax mother plants have been developed to speed up the seed-growing process:
- selection of mother plants according to the flowering interval of flax;
- selection for bast content in flax stems.

The improved scheme for primary seed production of fiber flax makes it possible to shorten the seed production process by 2 years and ensure faster introduction of new varieties of fiber flax into production.

The use of new technology and a scheme for primary seed production of fiber flax makes it possible to carry out variety change and variety renewal in 9 years, to simplify the creation of batches of original seeds in the primary links of seed production. When using a new scheme for fiber flax seed production on a cultivation area of 1000 hectares, cost savings due to the introduction of new varieties into production will amount to 211.4 million rubles, the profit from reducing costs in primary seed production received over 2 years is 43.1 million rubles.

Methods and technologies are approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus and agreed with the Republican Inspectorate for Seed Production, Plant Protection and Quarantine.

The main priority areas of activity of the Institute of Flax of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus are:

Creation of new highly productive varieties of fiber flax of various ripeness groups and high-yielding, high-fat varieties of oilseed flax, having high technological and nutritional qualities of the oil.

Primary seed production of zoned and promising varieties of fiber flax and oil flax.

Development of environmentally friendly, resource-saving technologies for cultivating and harvesting new and promising varieties of fiber flax and oil flax in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus.

Development of agrotechnical methods for increasing the yield and quality of flax products and reducing the cost of production of flax products.

Monitoring the morphophysiological and phytosanitary state of fiber flax crops.

Improving techniques for managing processes occurring during aging of flax straw.

Introduction of scientific developments into agricultural production, advanced training of personnel in the flax growing industry.

International scientific and technical cooperation has been established with leading research organizations in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Poland involved in the cultivation and processing of flax.

Consumers interested in purchasing seed technologies to obtain original fiber flax seeds under a commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Partners interested in developing seed technologies to obtain original fiber flax seeds ubder a technical cooperation agreement.
