Flax POLET

Consistent fiber production in challenging environments

The «Polet» flax variety is a specialized selection for producers aiming at high-quality fiber yields. Developed by the Federal Research Center for Bast Fiber Crops, this variety offers a predictable 85-100 day growth cycle. This timeline is crucial for managing the tight harvest window, ensuring that the crop is harvested at the peak of fiber quality without risk of over-ripening or degradation.

Field-proven disease resistance

The practical value of «Polet» lies in its robust biological defense system, which addresses the most common risks in flax cultivation:

• Fusarium wilt resistance: Significantly reduces crop loss and ensures a uniform stand.
• Bacteriosis resistance: Preserves stem integrity, which is essential for maintaining the quality and output of long-fiber flax.
• Anthracnose protection: Minimizes the risk of pre-harvest collapse and early plant mortality.

In a farm setting, «Polet» is chosen by agronomists who prioritize high-tech management and consistent raw material production. The seeds are well-suited for standardized mechanical harvesting, requiring no complex adjustments to equipment, and providing reliable emergence. By choosing «Polet», farms can effectively reduce their reliance on expensive fungicide applications without sacrificing yield.

Backed by the expertise of breeders Smirnov A.A., Prakhov V.A., and Prakhova T.Ya., this variety is built for reliability. It is the ideal choice for producers who need a stable, high-performance crop to feed processing facilities with consistent, high-grade fiber.
