THE INFLUENCE OF COMPLEX MICROELEMENTS ON THE YIELD OF SEEDS OF LENTIL VARIETIES AND LINES
Abstract
Purpose. Development of elements of an optimized technology for the production of lentil seeds with high sowing qualities. Methodology. Field – to monitor the growth and development of plants, weather and climatic conditions of the environment and other studied factors; measuring and weighing – parameters of the crop structure, yield; mathematical and statistical – to conduct variance analysis and statistical data processing in order to assess the reliability of the obtained research results. Results. Several key factors affect seed yield: Variety (Factor A): different varieties (Antonina, Serpanok, Darynka) have different genetic bases, which affects their productivity and disease resistance, and treatment (Factor B). Seed yield is the result of a complex interaction of these factors. It is important to consider all aspects to optimize yield. On average over the years of research, the yield of the Darynka variety after treatment with a mixture of drugs was 2.47 t/ha, which exceeds the control variant by 0.58 t/ha or 31%. Separate use of “Yarylo Active Start PRO” increased the yield by 0.23 t/ha or 12%, and “Avangard Complex Beans” by 0.45 t/ha or 24%. On average, during the studied years, the yield value when using preparations in the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was 1.97t/ha, which exceeds the control variant by 0.82t/ha. Separate use of “Yarylo Active Start PRO” increased the yield by 0.16t or 13.9%, the use of “Avangard Complex Legumes” – by 0.33t or 26.9%. The highest yield of lentil seeds of the Antonina variety was observed with treatment with “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” in 2025 – 2.02t/ha, which is 0.85t/ha more than the control variant. On average over the years of research, the yield value of the Serpanok variety when using preparations in the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was 2.16 t/ha, which exceeds the control variant by 0.55 t/ha or 34.2%. Separate application of “Yarylo Active Start PRO” increased the yield by 0.25 t/ha or 7.5%, and application of “Avangard Complex Legumes” – by 0.43 t/ha or 18.6%. The maximum yield of the newly created lentil lines was obtained in areas where application of the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was used. All the studied lines are characterized by a positive reaction to foliar feeding, especially when combining the two preparations. The highest results were obtained for the lines Yar 05–23 and Yar 11–23, Yar 15–23, the yield of which reached 2.54–2.56 t/ha. Conclusions. The highest level of seed yield of the Darynka variety was observed in 2025 on the plot with the treatment “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” – 2.55 t/ha, the increase in yields compared to the control variant of the same year showed an increase in yield by 0.62 t/ha or 32.1%. The maximum yield of lentil plants of the Serpanok variety was obtained on plots where the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was applied. On average, over the years of research, the yield value when using preparations in the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was 2.16 t/ha, which exceeds the control variant by 0.55 t/ha or 34.2%. The maximum yield of the newly created lentil lines was obtained in areas where the application of the mixture “Yarylo Active Start PRO” + “Avangard Complex Legumes” was used. In the Yar 03–23 line, the yield increased on average from 1.92 to 2.53 t/ha, or by 31.7%; in Yar 05–23 – from 1.91 to 2.56 t/ha (+34.1%); in Yar 07–23 – from 1.26 to 2.00 t/ha, which is one of the largest increases (+58.7%); in Yar 11–23 – from 1.96 to 2.55 t/ha (+30.1%); in Yar 15–23 – from 1.97 to 2.54 t/ha (+28.9%). The Darynka variety showed a strong positive relationship (r = 0.95) with an increase in the mass of 1000 seeds, the yield significantly increases. The Yar 03–23 line (r = 0.94), Serpanok (r = 0.91), Yar 07–23 line (r = 0.90), Yar 11–23 and Yar 15–23 lines (r = 0.89) also have a strong direct relationship. For these genotypes, an increase in the mass of 1000 seeds is accompanied by a stable increase in yield.
