The 'Saniya' variety of oil flax is a mid-ripening culture developed through individual selection from a hybrid population of the third generation. It is distinguished by high oil content in seeds, reaching 54%, as well as increased 1000-seed weight, ensuring high yield. Based on variety trial results, Saniya outperforms standard varieties in yield and oil extraction, demonstrating stable performance even under challenging growing conditions.
This variety is characterized by high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, including arid regions. It is drought-resistant, disease-resistant, and pest-resistant, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Volga-Vyatsk, Central Chernozem, North Caucasian, Middle Volga, Lower Volga, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, and Ural regions.
