2019 Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) production trends in the World and in Serbia eng https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:3790 Linum usitatissimum L., area, yield, production, world, Serbia application/pdf 2857695 bytes info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the changes that have occurred in the production of linseed in the world, and as well the conditions that led to manifested trends. During the monitored period (2009-2013) linseed production in the world was 2.09 million tons and it was growing at an average rate of 1.48% per year and records stability, CV=7.28%. The growth in production of linseed was dominantly influenced by the growth area. Five countries (Canada, China, Russia, India and U.S.A) provide 72.50% of global linseed production. The European top producer is the Russian Federation (13.86%). A significant producer is the EU-European Union with a share of 7.13%. In the tested period, linseed in the world was sowing on the average area of 2.15 million ha, and showed an annual 3.08% trend rate increase, and stability (CV =7.09%). Average yield of linseed during the monitored period in world was 972 kg. There was evident tendency of decrease of yield growth rate (1.54%) and variation (CV = 8.18%).The highest average of yield, in the world, per continents, was inAmerica (1,377 kg ha-1), Australia (1,120 kg ha-1) and Europe (1,080 kg ha-1). The lowest yields were in Asia (685 kg ha-1). EU countries had high linseed yields (1,335 kg ha-1). During the examined period, there was a decline in yields in the world. The growth area had dominant influence on increase of production of linseed.
