THE VARIABILITY OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE YIELD STRUCTURE IN THE MUSTACHIOED CRUMBS VARIETIES AS A RESULT OF SELECTION FOR HIGH SEED PRODUCTIVITY
Pea is the main leguminous crop in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The national economic significance of pea is primarily determined by the high protein content in its seeds and herbage. As a result of pea selection for high seed productivity in the Bashkir Research Institute of Agriculture, a number of modern productive, technological leafless cultivars were created. We analyzed changes in yield structure elements in these cultivars over the last 10 years. Our studies have shown that the new leafless cultivars Yuldash and Pamyati Popova in comparison with the highly productive cultivar Pamyati Khangil'dina have an increased number of seeds in bean by 5.6 and 25.0% respectively. A total number of seeds in bean in pea plants of cultivar Pamyati Popova increased by 26.4%.
