The 'Caesar' flax variety represents a mid-season flax type intended for the production of flax fiber. The vegetative period ranges from 78 to 83 days, allowing it to be cultivated in the Northwestern and Central regions. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to lodging and shattering, as well as moderate drought resistance, ensuring crop stability under various climatic conditions. Average flax straw yield reaches 39.4 centners per hectare, with seeds at 5.9 centners per hectare; in some regions, for example, the Tver region, flax straw yield may reach 43.5 centners per hectare.
'Caesar' is characterized by high fiber content — 30.6%, with a long fiber yield of 27.1%. The variety's fiber is of high quality, confirmed by the numbers of scoured fiber and relative breaking load, ensuring excellent spinning properties. These characteristics make the variety in demand for the textile industry, where the strength and quality of flax fiber are important.
Thus, the 'Caesar' variety is a reliable choice for flax fiber producers, combining high yield with high-quality technical specifications. Its resistance to unfavorable conditions and good spinning properties make it effective and profitable for cultivation in the specified regions.
