This medium-maturing variety is distinguished by its high fiber content of 26.6%, with long fiber yield reaching 19.1%. Thanks to its characteristics, Fakel is widely used for the production of flax fiber, making it in demand in the textile industry.
The Fakel variety has high resistance to major flax diseases, including rust (100%), Fusarium wilt (98.3%), and anthracnose (59.6%).
