Increasing Flax Yields: A Closer Look at Fertilizer Utilization and Weed Management
Research results indicate that side-banding N with P at seeding will work well in flax production if there is good separation between the seed and fertilizer.

Interpretive Summary
Increasing Flax Yields: A Closer Look at Fertilizer Utilization and Weed Management, 1998 Farmers have traditionally applied little fertilizer to flax because past experience has shown the seed is very sensitive to fertilizer. However, new placement options are available today, which may allow yields to be increased. The third year of a three-year project looking at improved fertilizer management in flax has been completed.
Increasing Flax Yields: A Closer Look at Fertilizer Utilization and Weed Management, 1997 Proper fertilizer placement is important in all zero-till cropping systems, but is especially critical in flax, which has a low tolerance for seed-placed P. This study, with locations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba is looking at different placement options for N and P in zero- till flax.
