Preparation work began for pea harvesting

In the laboratory for the selection of leguminous crops of the A. Barayev Scientific-production center for grain farming, preparation work began for pea harvesting.

Crops are in full ripening phase. In the nursery of competitive sort testing, 20 promising lines of peas are studied.

On experimental plots, registration areas of 0.25 m2 are allocated, where sheaves are selected before harvesting for structural analysis.

In laboratory conditions, during structural analysis, the length of the stem, the number of internodes (total and productive), the elements of the crop structure (the number of beans per plant, seeds in a bean and plant, mass of seeds from the 1st plant, etc.) are determined.

Based on the results of the studies, the distinguished lines will be selected for environmental testing and subsequent transfer to the State sort testing.
