Boron Application and Seeding Rate as Factors in Integrated Production of Oilseed Flax

ABSTRACT

A three-factor field experiment was carried out to assess the effects of the selection of cultivar, seeding rate, and foliar application of boron in cultivation of oilseed flax. The study showed that boron application had a significant effect on components of yield structure and a slight effect on seed quality. Seed weight, seed number per capsule, fat and protein content in the seeds, and fiber content in the stems increased. The “Jantarol” cultivar reacted more strongly, confirming that foliar application of boron is advisable in the case of yellow flax varieties.

摘要

通过田间三因素试验, 研究了亚麻栽培中品种选择、播种量和叶面施硼对亚麻产量的影响. 研究表明, 施硼对产量结构的构成因素影响显著, 对种子品质影响较小. 种子重量、每蒴果种子数、种子中脂肪和蛋白质含量以及茎中纤维含量增加. “Jantarol”品种的反应更强烈, 证实叶面施用硼对黄亚麻品种是可取的.
