New Varieties of Seed Peas for a Wide Area of Cultivation

Abstract

This article describes the work on the development of new varieties of peas, biological and economically valuable characteristics of the Sinbir and Tus varieties, and the results of their state variety testing. The purpose of this research is to create varieties of sowing peas, adaptable to soil and climatic conditions of the environment, with a high potential for productivity and seed quality indicators. The experiments were laid in the nursery of competitive variety testing for three years (2016–2018). The soil of the experimental field is a leached chernozem soil with a humus content of 5.65%. As a result of research on yield and useful economic traits, lines 433/05 and 403/08 were identified, which were transferred to the state variety trial under the name Sinbir and Tus. The increase in yield to the standard variety in the competitive variety testing was 0.17 t/ha for the Sinbir variety, 0.23 t/ha for the Tus variety. The varieties show that, depending on the soil and climatic conditions of cultivation, they are capable of forming high yields in various regions of the Russian Federation. The maximum yield of pea varieties Sinbir and Tus was reached at the Lipetsk State Statistical System and amounted to 6.2 and 5.57 t/ha. Sinbir is included in the state register of breeding achievements in the Volga-Vyatka, Central Black Earth, Middle Volga regions of the Russian Federation. Sorting pea variety Tus is distributed by Central, Volgo-Vyatsky, Central Chernozemsky, and Middle Volga.
