PRODUCTIVITY OF OIL FLAX CROPS IN DIFFERENT SEEDING RATES UNDER CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE RIGHT-BANK FOREST-STEPPE

As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that there was no significant difference in the number of plants from the beginning of full germination to harvesting in variants with different seeding rates. The analysis on the preservation of oil flax plants showed that there is no significant difference between number of plants per unit area from the beginning of full germination to harvesting in variants with different seeding rates. Difference between the variants in the number of plants that were lost during the growing season was on average only 2.3% for two years. Reducing the seeding rate from 7.0 to 5.0 million seeds per hectare in 2015 and in 2016 led to a significant shortage of yield The best productivity of oil flax is provided by sowing 6.0 million seeds/ ha, at which you can obtain 1.61 t/ ha of seeds, 0.63 t/ ha of oil at the lowest cost price and profitability of 72.9%
