Linseed Crop Cultivation: Farmers should cultivate linseed at very low cost, there will be bumper production

Linseed Crop Cultivation: Growing flax seed might be a great choice for farmers in Chhattisgarh who are searching for new agricultural options. Due to its cheap cost, low water requirements, and higher profit margin, this crop is becoming more and more popular both domestically and abroad. It is collected before to the start of summer after being seeded during the Rabi season. It is the perfect crop because of its low cost, great profit, and growing industrial demand. Flax has health benefits as well.

Flax is inexpensive to grow.

Nandan Mehta, a scientist at the Indira Gandhi Agricultural University’s Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding in Raipur, told the media that Chhattisgarh farmers are highly interested in learning more about flax farming and why not, given the high profit margin. Compared to other crops, growing flax during the Rabi season may be a lucrative venture for Chhattisgarh farmers. Flax doesn’t need grazing. The unique feature is that it is not consumed by animals. In addition, it is inexpensive to grow. Linseed doesn’t need a lot of water.

Linseed costs between 7,000 and 8,000 dollars a quintal.

The key, according to scientist Nandan Mehta, is that Chhattisgarh has developed linseed types that provide farmers with high yields. They produce around 10 to 12 quintals per hectare using rain-based farming. Up to 15 quintals may be grown in better irrigated circumstances. Each quintal costs around 7,000 to 8,000 rupees on the market. Its market price might sometimes exceed 10,000 rupees. These days, its cost is simply accessible. The main benefit of linseed is that it doesn’t go bad when stored. Farmers may readily sell it on the market and keep it for up to three years.
