It is a question of flax olive which in due time grew up in the Crimea as a valuable fodder and commercial crop, but now unfairly forgotten. However at the competent organization of cultivation and processing flax olive can become favorable culture.
It is a question of culture data about which in all statistical reports register in the column "other". Unfortunately, flax olive occupies unfairly small areas. And after all in the 80th years the Crimea grew up it approximately on three thousand hectares. Today flax olive isn’t demanded by landowners. And one of the reasons for that – its high requirements to level of the standard of farming. Soils are suitable for it fertile and pure, and it is better – chernozems and chestnut. Solonetzic soils are of little use.
The best predecessors for this culture – corn, winter, at its cultivation on the fertilized steam. To return on a former place crops of flax it is possible only in 5-6 years.
It is very sympathetic on fertilizers. Besides their main introduction it is desirable for it and top dressing by a bird’s dung or ashes in vegetation.
Flax at the same time with early grains cultures is sowed. If mass of 1000 seeds to 5 grams, weight norm of seeding of seeds on 1 hectare – 40-60 kg at narrow-rowed crops. At a crop ispolyyozovaniye only on seeds, flax clean in full ripeness kombajnami at a low cut.
He very much loves heat, especially at a sozreyovaniye of boxes, and therefore recommend to grow up olive flax in a droughty steppe zone and in enough damp foothill and mountain areas.
Economic value of this culture is great. First, from seeds of flax receive quick-drying oil which is used in the electroindustry, the radio technician and medicine; secondly, it is suitable for use in I write, and thirdly, when processing maslosemyan, squirrel containing to 33 % is formed linen makuxa. There are in it also fats and carbohydrates that does this makuxu suitable for preparation of the valuable concentrated forage for milk cows and KRS young growth. Besides, from flax straws, thanks to that that contains in it to 13 % of fiber, when processing develop rough fabrics and a twine.
All aforesaid confirms that at the competent organization of cultivation and processing flax olive can become favorable culture.
Today the sortoispytaniye offers his producers if those are, new high-yielding, technological grades. For droughty conditions of the Crimea the most suitable Iceberg, the Debut, P_vdenna nich, Orpheus Nice. All perechislenyony grades are entered into the Register of grades of plants of Ukraine since 2001. The grade Nice is entered since 2006.
These grades are created by scientists of Institute of olive cultures (Zaporozhye). They are steady against a drought, drowning, an osypaniye. The vegetative period from mass shoots to a pozhelteniye of boxes – 84-87 days. The content of fat in seeds of 44-45,8 % that at productivity in predelax 15-17 c/hectares will allow to collect oils from one hectare from 500 to 750 kg.
The grades offered agrarian sector will provide a high kayochestvo of received production which can compete in the miyorovy market.
Apparently, for expansion of crops of flax olive there are all conditions. The stop behind the small – to find enthusiasts.
