IMPULSE is an innovative fertilizer specifically developed for flax, containing a complex of microelements in chelated form, ensuring full plant nutrition. The fertilizer includes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum, cobalt, as well as an active organic substance that stimulates growth processes and increases flax's resistance to stress factors. The preparation is applied in the 'eyrie' phase to stimulate branching and during the budding period to increase the number of capsules, contributing to yield increase. The fertilizer is compatible with most pesticides used for flax protection, facilitating its application in complex agro-technical measures.
Flax of the Impulse variety belongs to medium-early flax varieties intended for the production of flax fiber. The plant is characterized by high growth and a long stem, ensuring high yield of straw and seeds. The vegetation period lasts from 63 to 80 days. Fiber content in the plant reaches 22%, and long fiber output is 14.2%, making this variety attractive for the textile industry. Despite high productivity, the variety has average resistance to some diseases, such as Fusarium wilt, anthracnose, and rust.
Moreover, flax is known for its beneficial properties for human health. Flax seeds contain vitamins A, E, B, F, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9, making them a valuable component of the diet for gastrointestinal tract diseases, such as ulcers and gastritis. Upon soaking, the seeds release mucus that coats the stomach walls, protecting them from the harmful effects of acids. Thanks to its rich chemical composition, flax seeds can serve as a more accessible and beneficial alternative to popular superfoods, such as chia seeds.
