Flax straw yield, turning over and a degree of flax straw seasoning influence on flax fibre quality and its technical characteristics

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies on the effect of productivity of flax straw, wrap and degreeof aging of flax stock on flax fiber quality and its technological characteristics.

It was found that to obtain high-quality fiber number 12 and above, including its color it is necessaryto wrap flax strawone or two times, maximum, three times depending on the prevailing weather conditions during aging of flax stock.

To obtain high-quality fiber number 12–13 raise of stockshould be carried out at rates of separabilityoffiber from wood 4,1–7,0. Harvesting reduces the strength of the fiber and thenumber under the separability index of fiber from wood more than 7,1–8,1.
