Abstract
Ariane and Viking fiber flax were grown in small plots and large fields at two lo- cations in Connecticut in 1992 and seven locations in 1993.In 1992 yield of retted flax straw ranged 5778-7332 lb/A on small plots.A 3-week planting delay reduced yield of Ariane about 15 percent.Yield in large fields ranged 3532-5251 lb/A.Reduced stand density lowered yield.In 1993 yield of retted flax straw was 2680-5300 lb/A in small plots.A 3-week delay in planting in dry 1993 reduced yield by nearly half On farms yield ranged 1499-5251 lb/A.Areas with early planting and more favorable rainfall had higher yield.Seed yield in 1992 was greater than in 1993, but both years were below expectation.Viking produced more seed than Ariane.Percent total fiber generally fell within the expected range, 24-28 percent of retted flax straw, except in the drier locations in 1993.Fiber quality of flax from large fields in 1992 ranged firom poor to good.Quality of Ariane was slightly higher than Viking and quality at Windsor was higher than at Mt. Carmel.The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer.Persons with disabilities who require alternate means of
