Possibilities of introduction foreign fiber flax cultivars in the lowland continental part of Croatia

With the aim to preserve the cultural heritage, fiber flax culture was resumed in northwestern Croatia a few years ago. The project is financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology (TEST program) and the Zagreb County. Possibilities of introducing foreign fiber flax cultivars in the lowland continental part of Croatia are investigated for the purpose of providing raw material for fabrication of environment-friendly cottage industry products. Cultivar trials with fiber flax were set up in 2002 and 2003 at two locations. The trials involved five cultivars: four Czech cultivars (Jitka, Texa, Merkur and Bonet) and one Dutch cultivar (Viola). The paper presents only some of the results on the major agronomic and morphological traits of fiber flax cultivars.
