From our crop reference

Flax is a fibre crop, grown in the rabi season. Sow it in Oct–Nov and expect to harvest in 110–130 days. It wants a pH of 5.5–7.0 (slightly acid) and 10–25°C. Plant at 20 cm rows, allowing 80–100 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 1.5–2.5 t fibre. Watch for rust, wilt.
