The main task facing the flax industry today is to create a reliable domestic raw material base for flax processing enterprises, ensuring the economic and strategic security of the country, for the production of domestic fiber raw materials and products from it for civil and defense purposes. The creation and introduction of new highly productive flax varieties into production occupies an important place in the system of measures aimed at the effective development of the flax industry. Department of Genetics, Breeding and Seed Production of the Russian State Agricultural Academy named after K.A. According to Timiryazev, a bioresource collection of cultivated flax has been formed and described according to its characteristics and properties, which will be the source material for breeding. Hybrid flax populations have been created, which are constant in morphological and economically valuable characteristics, covering the maximum possible diversity of the L. usitatissimum species.
Due to the biological characteristics of the new varieties, the yield of flax products can be increased by 15-20% at no additional cost.
