Flax-dolguntsev is a valuable source of two types of products — fiber and seeds, making it in demand in various industries. Total fiber content reaches 27.1%, with a maximum value of 31.4%, while long fiber yield is 20.4%. Fiber physical characteristics include linear density of 2.64 tex, breaking load of 12 kgf, and flexibility of 61 mm, indicating high material quality. These indicators make flax-dolguntsev attractive for the textile industry and other application areas requiring strong and flexible fiber. Successful cultivation of flax-dolguntsev requires a scientifically sound approach, taking into account the crop's requirements for temperature regimes, moisture, light, and soil conditions.
