Abstract: The oil flax (Linum usitatissimum Linn) is an important oil crop in China which is characterized as fine texture, rich nutrient, and strong anti- adversity as well as wide adaptability. However, extensive cultivation technology and outdated management measure of oil flax were contributed to the low yield and poor quality for a long time. In order to realize oil flax high yield and good quality, this paper introduced the application value of oil flax and cultivation characteristic and mainly focused on the cultivation technology in the sowing proper time, balanced fertilization, intercropping, plastic mulching and so on. In addition, it also discussed current manufacturing status and existing problems of oil flax in China, and put forward some countermeasures for future development aimed at providing theoretical references for advancing the production and the cultivation research rapidly.
