Agroecological stability of cultivars of sparsely distributed legumes in the context of climate change

Abstract

A prerequisite for increasing the area of sparsely distributed leguminous crops lies in the analysis of their cultivars according to agroecological indicators. Therefore, the purpose was to develop the State Register of plant cultivars suitable for distribution in Ukraine for 2021 and Official descriptions of plant cultivars and indicators of economic suitability, highlighted in the information and reference system “Sort” (cultivar) regarding the assessment of agroecological resistance of cultivars of sparsely distributed legumes. The highest potential seed yield, according to the State Register of plant cultivars of Ukraine, is attributed to horse bean cultivars Tiffani and Fanfare, lentil cultivars YeS Maksymum, Blondi and SNIM 18, chickpea cultivars Goksu, Aras, Zehavit, YeS Alunt and a cultivar of grass pea Ivolha. The highest resistance to diseases is attributed to the cultivars of horse beans Birgit, Apollo, and Stella, cultivars of lentils Blondi, Khryzolit, SNIM 18, Harri, Linza, cultivars of chickpeas Odysei, Zodiak, Rodin, Oven, Stepovyi velet, and all cultivars of grass pea. The most resistant to pests are horse beans Sirius and Fanfare, lentil cultivars Harri, Blondi, Khryzolit, SNIM 18, cultivars of chickpea Dostatok, Zodiak, Lara, Yaryna, YeS Alunt, Rodin, Stepovyi velet, Kozeroh and Odysei. The most drought-resistant is the cultivar of grass pea Ivolha, as well as most cultivars of horse beans, except Sirius and Fanfare, lentil cultivars, except YeS Maksymum, Antonina, and Harri, chickpeas, except Zehavit and Budzhak cultivars. Analysis of agroecological resistance of cultivars of sparsely distributed leguminous plants and their potential seed yield showed that to a large extent, high productivity is ensured by resistance to adverse agroecological factors: the influence of diseases, pests, and drought. The practical value of the study is to recommend the production of cultivars of sparsely distributed legumes with the highest indicators of resistance to diseases, pests, and drought with the highest potential yield

Peculiarities of Reproduction of “Pinus nigra” Arn. in Ukraine

“…For some species that are almost incapable of vegetative regeneration, this is the only possible way to procreate. Seed reproduction of most tree species remains the main method due to technological simplicity, the possibility to mechanize the process and overall cost savings [7]. In the process of seed propagation the number of new plants increases, and young organisms acquire new features not characteristic of the parent plants.…”

“…Since in natural conditions conifers are propagated mainly by seeds, the methods of their vegetative propagation are not so well developed as for the other groups of plants. In this case, the offspring may not inherit some valuable traits, especially important in reproduction of exotic decorative forms [7].…”

“…Almost all ornamental plants in Ukraine are introducers that are well adapted to the conditions into which they have been once successfully transplanted [18]. The plants mainly retain the features of their natural habitats, although their external appearance may become modified [7], [9][10][11]. Such species have become an integral part of the structure of both urban and rural areas landscaping [17].…”

Study of Sowing Quality of Soybean Seeds Depending on Pre-Sowing Treatment of Seed and Microfertilizers

“…Organic seeds are more useful for consumers due to the minimization of negative health effects of toxic and persistent chemicals (Piwowar et al, 2021;Petrychenko et. al., 2014;Mazur et. al., 2021;Marconi et.…”

Genetic determination of elements of the soybean yield structure and combining ability of hybridization components

“…The most widely-used methods of soybean (Glycine max) breeding include mass and individual selection, intraspecific and remote hybridization, experimental mutagenesis and a combination of these methods (Carroll et al, 1985;Riabukha and Kobyzieva, 2010;Kyrychenko, et al, 2016), genetic engineering methods (Babych, et al, 2011;Paziuk et al, 2021), heterosis breeding (Mazur et al, 2021a). The method of synthetic breeding involves a sufficiently large volume of crossings with the involvement of the genetically diverse source material.…”
