Vladimir Kranik named the main tasks of Belarusian science in the development of flax cultivation.
The National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will strengthen cooperation in the development of the flax industry. The scientists will improve the technologies for growing flax and update the recommendations immediately, and the ministry will monitor their compliance in the farms.
"The choice of linen is one of the strengths of our home science," stressed Vladimir Karnik, chairman of the presidency of the National Academy of Sciences.
According to the head of the National Academy of Sciences, such interaction will increase the yield and quality of the resulting flax crop. Kranik also noted that Belarus not only supplies farmers with domestically selected seeds, but also supplies them abroad.
