Abstract

Two field experiments were carried out at the Experimental Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University, during the two successive winter seasons of 1996/97 and 1997/98 to study the response of two flax cultivars (Giza 8 and Blanka) to N (70, 120 and 170 kg N/ha-1), P and K fertilizers levels (0 kg PK, 35 kg P, 30 kg K, 35 kg P + 30 kg K, 70 kg P + 30 kg K, 35 kg P+ 60 kg K and 70 kg P+ 60 kg K ha-1). Giza 8 cv. surpassed Blanka in number of fruit branches plant-1, number of capsules plant-1, 1000-seed weight, weight of seeds plant-1 as well as seed and straw yields ha-1. Blanka surpassed Giza 8 in stem diameter in the first season, plant height, technical length and straw yield in both seasons.
