The project demonstrated that precision agriculture and data-driven insights can make flax production sustainable. By using satellite imagery, flax growers were able to monitor their fields remotely.
Sustainable control of the most important fungal diseases in flax production, namely Verticillium, Septoria and Podosphaera, is the main objective of the TRANS-PATHOFLAX 2.0 project.
The worldwide growing demand for flax fibers has resulted in a marked increase in flax acreage in Flanders and Europe
