The cultivation of linseed is an alternative to the production of flax stem, which is globally on the decline. The alternative method to the traditional harvest using the flax puller is increasing use of combine harvester. By this method the harvest efficiency will be increased, which represents a significant step to an improvement of economy of cultivation. Depending on the variety, the value of specific energy consumption was determined from (0.43 MJ/kg) up to (0.63 MJ/kg) if we use flax puller and from (0.58 MJ/kg) up to (0.86 MJ/kg) if it is used a combine harvester. Levelized costs for seed production in case of soil cultivaton with tillage rangein wide interval (9,714 CZK/t-17,308 CZK/t) depending on yield of a variety and used machinery.
