Kherson agronomists in non-irrigated areas like drought-resistant flax curls. Igor Bragininets from the Alfa-Agro farm, which is located in the Kherson region, told about this. “Flax receives that water, to which other crops do not reach,” Igor Bragininets comments. “Last year there were 24 days of dry winds, as a result of which the earth cracked. But despite this, farmers gathered 5-6 quintals of flax seeds per hectare ".
Only 16 types of oil flax are grown in Ukraine. One of the most famous species is Eureka. In neighboring farms, says Bragininets, he gave 32 centners of oilseeds per hectare. Naturally, growing flax has its own specific aspects. Of the inevitable measures, the agronomist refers to the introduction of stimulants, for example, the equipment “Vitazim”. You can also spray crops desiccants. Igor Bragininets recommends applying them when not less than 70% of not only bolls but also straws turn red, and then after three days you can start threshing.
