“…15% of straw dry weight are possible. In the case of fibrous flax fiber, yields are almost 2 times higher (25-30% of straw dry weight), and the yield of seed production is 2-2.5 times higher (Heller et al, 2015) in the case of linseed plants. For greater seed production, linseed varieties are sown at low densities (ca.…”

“…The mean emergence capacity over three years ranged from 47.4% to 56.8%, and increased with the decreasing number of sown seeds. Th e highest percentage of plant reduction during the growing season (33.5%) occurred in the (Kurt 2010;Jacobsz and van der Merwe 2012;Heller et al 2015). Generally, the germination capacity of linseed is low.…”

“…Other species were relatively rare in our collected material, and most of them do not feed on Linum (Afonin et al 2008). Aphthona euphorbiae and L. parvulus are considered worldwide to be serious pests of fl ax grown for fi bre and seeds (Heller et al 2015). Unfortunately, little information concerning the exact proportion between numbers of these two species in the linseed crop can be found.…”

“…Linseed (Linum usitatissimum Linnaeus, 1753), one of the oldest cultivated crops, continues to be widely grown for oil, fi bre, and food (Jhala and Hall 2010;Heller et al 2015). Linseed oil has commercial value as a component of adhesives, paints and varnishes, plasticizers, inks, and linoleum.…”

“…Two species of fl ax fl ea beetles, Aphthona euphorbiae (Schrank, 1781) and Longitarsus parvulus (Paykull, 1799) are considered to be serious, worldwide pests of fl ax grown for fi bre and seeds (Heller et al 2015). Th ese two species occur together, but A. euphorbiae thrives within a wider temperature and humidity range than L. parvulus.…”

Linseed, one of the oldest cultivated crops, is again gaining in importance, mainly due to its nutritional benefi ts and biomedical applications. Th erefore, it is expected that herbivores will also exist in greater abundance. Among them the fl ea beetle, Aphthona euphorbiae Schrank and Longitarsus parvulus Paykull are considered to be serious pests of fl ax grown for fi bre and seeds in Europe. Th e aim of this study was to determine fl ax fl ea beetles' abundance, species richness and seasonal dynamics on linseed grown at diff erent densities. It was expected that linseed seeding density can signifi cantly aff ect fl ea beetle populations. Th e experiment was carried out in Lower Silesia, Poland, from 2011 to 2013. A genetically modifi ed type of linseed overproducing fl avonoids was used. Flea beetles and the damages they caused were determined on plants and also a sweep net was used for the collection of adult beetles. During the three years of the study 15 species of fl ea beetles were identifi ed from oil fl ax plants, with A. euphorbiae and L. parvulus being dominant. In terms of the total catch, the tendency was for beetle numbers to decrease with increasing plant density. Flax fl ea beetles feeding on linseed plants, irrespective of plant density, had two peaks of abundance. Th e fi rst peak was lower and occurred in June, when plants were at the blooming stage. Th is peak was caused by overwintering adults who colonized crops in spring. Th e second, higher peak of abundance was recorded in the second half of July, when plants were at the ripening stage. Th is peak was formed by adults of the new generation. Each year, at the higher population peak of abundance, the fl ea beetles were most numerous on plants grown at the lowest density. Th ere was one period, lasting either from mid-May to the fi rst few days of June, or from the beginning of June to mid-June, during which the number of holes and damage on plants of each treatment were highest. During the three years of the study there were several cases of signifi cantly higher numbers of fl ea beetle feeding symptoms on plants grown at the lowest density as compared to the medium and highest densities.

Fiber‐reinforced composites have emerged as versatile materials with applications spanning diverse industries, driven by their exceptional mechanical properties and lightweight nature. This review provides a comprehensive overview of natural fiber‐reinforced composites, focusing on their enhanced mechanical and functional properties achieved through modern processing techniques. The study delves into various manufacturing methods, such as thermoforming, additive manufacturing, compression molding, electro‐spinning, pultrusion and autoclave molding, which have significantly contributed to the advancement of these composites. The review further investigates the multifaceted properties of these composites, which highlights the versatility and applicability of these materials and provides a holistic understanding of their potential applications. Additionally, the work addresses current research gaps and identifies prospects, shedding light on the evolving landscape of natural fiber‐reinforced composites. The synthesis of processing techniques, material properties and potential applications offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners and industries aiming to harness the full potential of these sustainable and high‐performance materials. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
