N2  - ABSTRACT This investigation was carried out at Etay EI-Baroud Agric. Res. Station, Egypt, during the two successive seasons (2004/05 and 2005/06) to study the effect of water retting treatments i.e., without change water, change water every 72 hours and change water daily on the fiber quality and quantity of three flax varieties i.e., Sakha 1, Sakha 3, and Sakha 4. The summaries of results were obtained as follow: 1- Sakha 1 flax variety surpassed in length of capsules zone, stem diameter, straw and seed yields 1plant as well as per faddan including its components. Meanwhile, the newly flax variety, Sakha 3, surpasses either Sakha 1 or Sakha 4 in technical length, straw yieldl Faddan, total fiber percentage, fiber length, strength, fiber fineness and fiber yieldlfaddan Moreover, Sakha 4 followed Sakha 3 variety in the majority fiber characters in the two successive seasons. 2- The retting treatment without change water recorded maximum estimates of total fiber percentage, fiber yield per faddan and fiber fineness in both seasons, while the change water daily treatment produced the tallest and strongest fibers. 3- The interaction among varieties and retting treatments had significant effect on the studied fiber characters
