Cultivation of oil flax at direct sowing in the conditions of the North Kazakhstan

Abstract

The studies have revealed that flax oilseed sown on herbicide fallow ripened faster compared to options on wheat stubble, for an average 4-6 days. Crops on wheat stubble were inferior to those of herbicide fallow by 3-7% in terms of the overall survival of plants. The highest yield of flax oilseed was shown in the herbicide fallow with a row spacing of 23 cm. The application of desiccation 10 days prior to harvesting increased the yield of this crop by 5-7%.
