Orfei

Flax of the 'Orpheus' variety is an annual herbaceous plant, 55-58 cm tall, with medium-sized blue flowers. The flax seeds are moderately brown and contain a high oil content — from 47.0 to 48.0%. Spring soil preparation includes pre-sowing cultivation to a depth of 5-6 cm, ensuring optimal conditions for seed germination. For sowing an area of 3 m², one packet of seeds is sufficient. The average seed yield is 1.8-2.0 tons per hectare, indicating the high productivity of this variety. The 'Orpheus' variety is multifunctional and is used not only for fiber and seed production but also as an effective green manure crop. It is well-suited for planting on various soil types and exhibits high disease resistance, simplifying crop care. The crop efficiently utilizes water reserves from deep soil layers, allowing it to tolerate drought until flowering begins. Using 'Orpheus' flax as green manure provides significant agronomic benefits. Its deep root system improves soil structure, enhances fertility, and protects against erosion. Additionally, the plant enriches the soil with organic matter, suppresses weed growth, enhances microbial activity, and reduces pathogen levels. To achieve maximum green manure effect, regular irrigation is necessary, promoting full crop development and improving soil condition.
