Flax SLAVNY 82

Reliable Yields for Oilseed Flax

Slavny 82 is a specialized flax variety developed by the Federal Research Center for Bast Fiber Crops, designed for consistent seed production. Farmers value this variety primarily for its field predictability: the growing cycle, from germination to maturity, spans 85–100 days, facilitating efficient harvest logistics.

Phytosanitary Resilience

Managing fungal pathogens is a top priority for flax growers, as infections can significantly reduce output. Slavny 82 provides robust genetic resistance to three primary threats:

• Anthracnose: Prevents crop thinning and root damage.
• Fusarium: Minimizes the risk of plant loss during active development.
• Flax Rust: Protects photosynthetic foliage, ensuring healthy seed filling.

These traits allow farming operations to reduce chemical application frequency, bypassing one or two fungicide treatments, which significantly improves the economic efficiency of production.

Operational Use

This variety is well-suited for agricultural enterprises focused on oilseed flax production. With its optimized maturity window, Slavny 82 is ideal for regions with shorter summer seasons. The variety exhibits excellent tillering capacity, forming a dense and uniform stand. It is a strategic choice for farms prioritizing sustainable management and aiming to minimize input costs associated with intensive chemical disease control.
