Breeding and Production
FC2015 research in the breeding and production pillar is focused on grower information regarding best agronomic practices. Techniques for breeding flax will be improved by developing new knowledge, methods, and economics for flax production in both conventional and organic farming systems.
High-quality flax varieties that reduce risk through genetic resistance to stress will develop improved products for all of the FC2015 project pillars. New flax cultivars and integrated management strategies will contribute to more sustainable crop production systems, increase and stabilize flax yields, and reduce the need for agrochemical use through improved disease and pest resistance.
