Flax, also known as common flax or linseed, is a flowering plant, Linum usitatissimum, in the family Linaceae. It is cultivated as a food and fiber crop in regions of the world with temperate climates. In 2022, France produced 75% of the world's supply of flax.

Flax has two types: seed flax grown for the oil and nutritional value of its seed, and fiber flax grown for the fiber in its stem. In North Dakota, only seed flax is grown commercially. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) production has a long history.

Native to tropical America, this weed has spread to Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as a few parts of the US. The plant is rarely found in North Carolina. It is a rapidly growing summer annual or biennial weed in the Asteraceae (daisy) family.

Common names of E. bonariensis include flax-leaf fleabane, wavy-leaf fleabane, Argentine fleabane, hairy horseweed, asthma weed and hairy fleabane. [2]

In general, flax is an annual or short-lived, semi-evergreen perennial forb, sometimes semi-woody at base with attractive flowers ranging from white to blue to yellow to red in color. Common in the western United States, blue flax is considered a woody subshrub in the PLANTS database (USDA, NRCS 2000).

It has become naturalized in many other regions, including North America, Europe and Australia. Common names include flax-leaf fleabane, wavy-leaf fleabane, Argentine fleabane, hairy horseweed, asthma weed and hairy fleabane. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)

May 14, 2024 · Pre-and post-harvest herbicides are a valuable resource for long-term weed control planning, in flax and all other crops. This is great opportunity to look at perennial weed populations and target control when they are preparing for seasonal dormancy.

Flax plants compete poorly with fast growing weeds due to its relatively short height (between 12 and 36 inches when mature) and tiny leaves. This trial was initiated to see if management, including different row spacing and cultivation, would reduce weed density in …

Why Is It a Noxious Weed? Spurge flax is known as a common weed in its native habitat. In Okanogan County, where it was discovered in Washington State, it infested 600 acres before it was noticed and identified. Spurge flax is aggressive and is not palatable to livestock. How would I …

Erigeron bonariensis is a species of Erigeron, found throughout the tropics and subtropics as a pioneer plant; its precise native origin is unknown, but most likely Central America or South America. It has become naturalized in many other regions. Common names include flax-leaf fleabane, wavy-leaf fleabane, Argentine fleabane, and hairy fleabane.

Flax is an alternative cash crop, especially in areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota where allocated acreages for other cash crops are limited or where other crops are not adapted. At one time the flax acreage was concentrated on the clay soils in eastern Wisconsin.

A short-lived herbaceous plant developing a basal rosette of leaves at first. Its upright branched stems are densely hairy and usually grow up to 1 m tall. Its lower leaves (4-10 cm long) are elongated in shape with bluntly toothed to deeply lobed margins. Its smaller upper leaves are usually long and narrow with finely toothed or entire margins.

Flax-leaf broom produces large amounts of seed and can tolerate a range of environmental conditions. It quickly forms dense thickets, particularly in areas that are disturbed or degraded. It is an invader of roadsides, pastures, forestry, drains and areas of high conservation value.

Flax seeds are small and flat, and they are rich in nutrients, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and lignans. The fibers from the stem of the flax plant are used to produce linen, a durable and breathable textile.

Flax is a cool-season plant that belongs to the Linaceae family and the genus Linum, and the modern varieties/types are annual plants. Depending on the type, flax plants can grow in a wide variety of climates and are considered resilient plants.

Flaxleaf fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) is a major weed seen in cropping areas of southern Queensland and northern New South Wales and more recently northern Victoria. The most worrying aspect of fleabane is that it is a prolific seeder: a …

Fleabane is a major weed of dryland cropping in many parts of NSW. It has been confirmed as glyphosate resistant. An integrated weed management approach is required. What does it look like? Fleabanes are erect annual herbs. Six species of Conyza have naturalised in NSW the three most common weedy species in NSW are:

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a food and fiber crop. Flaxseeds are a good source of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid. Flaxseeds also contain phytoestrogens...
