The results of the study on foliar nutrition infl uence on the productivity of sunfl ower hybrids are presented in the article. The research was carried out in the period 2018–2019 in the conditions of the experimental fi eld of VNAU on the basis of NRF "Agronomichne," located in the village of Agronomichne, Vinnytsia region. The research studied two hybrids of sunfl ower mid-early ripenessgroup: Basfora and Sanai MR in the application of foliar nutrition microfourings Vanguard R Sunfl ower which was introduced into the phase 3–4 and 6–8 pairs of leaves. Thesoil on the experimental plot is a gray forest middle-loamy. According to the results of measurements, the height of plants in Basfora sunfl ower hybrid on control, on average for two years of research was 181.0 cm, and Sanai MR hybrid – 169.5 cm. When applying microfertilizers in phase 3–4 pairs of Bosphora leaves – 186.0 cm, Sanai MR – 174.5 cm, in phase 6–8 pairs of Bosphora leaves – 187.5 cm, Sanai MR – 174.5 cm and with double application microfertilizers in phase 3–4 and 6–8 leaves – 191,0 and 175,0 cm, respectively for the hybrids of Bosphora and Sanai MR. Foliar nutrition reduces the number of plants aff ected by gray rot by 1.2–2.5 % for the Bosphora hybrid and 1.0–1.7 % for the Sanai MR hybrid and white rot – Bosphora by 1.6–2 in the studied sunfl ower hybrids, 1 % and Sanai MR – 0.6–1.4 %. Carrying out foliar nutrition contributed to the growth of the mass of seeds from one plant. In particular, application of microelements Vanguard R Sunfl ower in phase 3–4 pairs of leaves provides the following value of seed weight from one plant: Basfora – 45.0 grams, Sanai MG – 40.5 grams, introduction in phase 6–8 pairs of leaves 44.7 and 39 7 grams, and two-day introduction of this microelement in phase 3–4 and 6–8 pairs of leaves – 48.6 and 42.6 grams. It is also noted that the implementation of foliar nutrition provided an increase in the number of seeds in the infl orescence (basket). On control (without nutrition), the number of seeds from the basket, respectively, was 698 and 663 pieces, for the hybrid of the Bosphora and Sanai MR. The lowest productivity of the studied sunfl ower hybrids was formed on the control (without foliar feeding): Bosphora – 2.85 t/ha and Sanai MR – 2.79 t/ha. The highest productivity on sunfl ower crops in the studied hybrids was obtained under double foliar nutrition of sunfl ower with microfertilizers Avanhard R in the phase 3–4 and 6–8 pairs of leaves and on average during the years of research it amounted to 3.19 t/ha for the Basfora hybrid and 3.14 t/ha for the Sanai MR hybrid, which is 0.44 and 0.35 % more than the control.

The flowers of the arctic poppy (Papaver radicatum L.) track the sun, and the petals of the flowers reflect light towards the ovary. This study investigated the importance of petals to reproductive success in this species. We measured light intensity, ovary temperature, seed weight, and number of seeds produced by flowers that had their petals removed versus flowers with their petals intact. Flowers without petals do not track the sun. Irradiance was greater when the photocell was held coincident with the angle of sun-tracking flowers than when facing upward. Flowers with petals had significantly higher overy temperatures both at the ovary surface and in the ovary interior than did flowers lacking petals. In pairs of flowers on the same individual plant, those with their petals removed had significantly fewer and smaller seeds than control flowers with petals intact. There were site differences in the significance of the treatment effect, but not in the magnitude of the differences between flowers with and without petals. Therefore, the presence of petals resulted in increased irradiance and temperature at and in the ovary, which affected reproductive success.

The field trials were carried out in 2018–2019 in the laboratory for cultivation technology of row crops of the FSBSI “AgriculturalResearchCenter“Donskoy” (Zernograd). The experimental plot is located in the southern agricultural part of theRostovregion characterized with insufficient and unstable moisture. The soil of the experimental plot is ordinary heavy loamy blackearth (chernozem) on loess-like loam, with 3.2% of humus, 18.5–20.0 of P O , 342–360 mg of K O per a kg of soil. The value of the hydrothermal coefficient in the years of study ranged from 0.28 to 0.55 (insufficient moisture supply of the growing season). The current paper has presented the study results of the effect of effect of seeding rates, sowing dates, sowing methods on productivity of the middle early ripening chickpeas variety “Privo1”. The applied agricultural techniques affected on indicators of the yield structure elements. So, the increase of the seeding rate from 0.3 to 1.0 million units/ha reduced number of seeds per plant by 7–11 pcs., decreased seed weight per plant by 1.7–2.6 g and 1000-seed weight by 35–65 g. The sowing date had the greatest effect on chickpea productivity (the effect of the factor was 42.2%), and the sowing method had the smallest (4.1%) effect on it. The largest productivity was formed in the first period with the ordinary-row method of sowing (0.76–1.06 t/ha), and the smallest productivity was formed in the third period with the wide-row method of sowing (0.44–0.71 t/ha). The correlation between the main elements of productivity (“number of seeds per plant”, “seed weight per plant”, “1000-seed weight”) and cultivation technologies was average positive (r = 0.39–0.47).

The study of the effect of three well known mutagens, ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS), methyl methane sulphonate (MMS) and gamma rays (GR) on the yield contributing traits of the urdbean variety TPU-4 were carried out in the M3 generation. Effect of selected mutagenic treatments/doses of EMS (0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 M), MMS (0.0025, 0.05 and 0.01 M) and (GR) (30, 40 and 50 KR) on different yield contributing traits like plant height, plant spread, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, seed yield per plant and 100 seed weight were analyzed in the M3 populations of the variety TPU-4. Seeds of M2 plants and control were harvested separately and sown to raise M3 population.. Genetic variabilty in the mutagen administered M3 progeny of the urdbean variety TPU-4 was analyzed by employing statistical methods. Data on mean values and shift in the mean of seven quantitative traits was evaluated on individual plant basis. The experimental findings revealed that concentrations / dose of the all these mutagens showed inhibitory effect on plant height, number of pods per plant, pod length and number of seeds per pod. Lower concentrations of mutagens exerted a promotory effect on plant spread, 100 seed weight and seed yield per plant while higher concentrations of these mutagens inhibited them to different extent.

Several population samples of Rubus idaeus subspp. strigosus Michx. (raspberries) were collected in British Columbia and northern Alberta and a number of characters were studied and compared with the cultivar Trent. Significant differences between populations were found for cane length, number of buds per cane, percentage of buds growing, number of inflorescences and flowers per bud, fruit and seed weight. There was a positive correlation between the total seed weight and the number of seeds, and between the total seed and fruit weight. No distinct types could be established based on location or elevation. None of the populations showed significantly better winter hardiness than the cultivar Trent, and although some had a specific character that was superior, none was found to have overall superiority.

The efficacy of seed treatment and foliar spray with fungicides in controlling black point incidence of wheat seeds was evaluated in the field. Two seed treating fungicides, namely Vitavax-200 and Homai-80WP were used @ 0.25% of dry seed weight and foliar spray with Tilt-250EC (0.05%) was applied in six different schedules. Untreated and unsprayed controls were also maintained. Seed treatment with either Vitavax-200 or Homai-80WP significantly increased plant population and grain yield, but none of them was found effective in reducing black point incidence. On the other hand, foliar sprays with Tilt-250EC under all the spray schedules except spraying at 70 and 90 DAS significantly minimized the disease severity over unsprayed control. Among the different spray schedules, spraying at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 DAS appeared to be most effective, which was similar to spraying at 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 DAS in reducing black point incidence and increasing grain yield. Economic analysis on yield advantage showed that the highest additional gross margin of Tk. 6120/ha with BCR 2.57 was obtained from five sprays applied at 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 DAS.

The morpho â€physiological traits associated with seed yield in chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) were evaluated on thirty five chickpea genotypes under twodifferent water regimes. In optimum condition, the highest correlation wasbelonged to number of seeds/plant and number of pods/plant (0.944**) andin water deficit condition, the strongest correlation of seed yield was observedwith number of seeds/plant (0.875**), number of pods/plant(0.789**) and 100  â€seed weight (0.438**). Physiological traits (RWC, Chlorophylland Carotenoid) indicated low and positive correlation with yield, buthigh positive correlation with other seeds yields related traits in optimumcondition while, under water deficit condition, chlorophyll content and RWChad low and non â€significant negative correlation with seeds yield. Carotenoid,number of seeds/plant and 100 â€seed weight showed more direct positiveeffect on yield in optimum environment and in stress condition, numberof seeds/ plant and 100 â€seed weight showed highest direct effect on seedyield. Results of factor analysis showed that four factors explained 88.54%and 34.5% of the total variance caused in the characters in optimum andwater deficit environment, respectively. In general, the results suggestedthat a chickpea cultivar, for increased yield under non â€stress conditions,should have maximum number of seeds and pods per plant and under stressconditions should have maximum number of seeds and pods per plant andalso keep the high level of RWC and chlorophyll content in their leaves. Thus,identifying these traits as selection criteria in chickpea breeding programmay be useful for breeders to introduce suitable drought resistant chickpeacultivars for arid regions.

Genetic divergence of 110 lentil germplasm with checks was assessed based on morphological traits using multivariate analysis. Mahalanobis generalized distance (D2) analysis was used to group the lentil genotypes. Significant variations among lentil genotypes were observed in respect of days to 1st flowering, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, and number of pods per peduncle, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100 seed weight and yield per plant. Considering the mean values, the germplasm were grouped into ten clusters. The highest number of genotypes (17) was in cluster X and lowest (5) both in cluster II and IV. Cluster IV had the highest cluster mean for number of pods per plant (297.08), number of seeds per plant (594.16), 100 seed weight (1.44 g) and yield per plant (8.53 g). Among them, the highest inter-cluster distance was obtained between the cluster IV and I (24.61) followed by IV and III (22.33), while the lowest was between IX and II (1.63). The maximum value of inter-cluster distance indicated that genotypes belonging to cluster IV were far diverged from those of cluster I. The first female flower initiation was earlier in BD-3812 (49 days) in cluster I and cluster IV had highest grain yield per plant (8.53). BD-3807 produced significant maximum number of pods per plant (298.40) in cluster IV. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ijarit.v4i1.21095 Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. & Tech. 4 (1): 70-76, June, 2014

Background. The problem of a deficit in vegetable protein and the need to diversify agricultural produce require involvement of new and little-known crops, such as cowpea, in the production. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a high-protein leguminous crop; its breeding and production have been intensified in Russia only in recent years. The study of the VIR collection, carried out at the Institute’s branch in Astrakhan, makes it possible to disclose the crop’s breeding potential. Objective: Studying the range of variability and tracing the relationships of economically valuable traits in vegetable (green pod) cowpea under the conditions of Astrakhan Province.Materials and methods. In 2008‑2010, a study was implemented at an experiment plot of the Astrakhan branch of VIR. Thirty- three accessions of green pod cowpea from the VIR collection were studied to analyze the variability of 12 phenotypic traits. Positive and negative correlations were identified between the following characters: interphase periods (flowering, industrial ripeness and seed maturation), shape of the shrub, lengths of the stem and to the first pod, length and weight of the pod, number of seeds per pod, presence of a parchment layer and fiber in pod valves, pod yield per plant, number of pods and peduncles, seed weight per plant, and weight of 1000 seeds.Results and conclusion. Medium variability was observed for such characters as the interphase periods ‘shoots–industrial ripeness’ and ‘shoots– seed maturation’, number of seeds per pod, and weight of 1000 seeds: the coefficient of variation (CV) was 15‑18%. High variation was registered for the length and weight of the pod (CV = 26‑32%), shrub shape, stem length, and length of the stem up to the first pod (CV = 35‑37%). The widest ranges of variability were demonstrated in the quantitative yield characters of cowpea accessions: number of pods per plant (CV = 33‑49%), number of flower stalks (CV = 38‑51%), and seed weight per plant (CV = 38‑44%), which means that cowpea yield is quite susceptible to weather conditions. During the three years of studying, the lowest levels of variability in economically valuable traits were characteristic of the accessions of the early-ripening group: k‑668 and k‑873 (China); mid- ripening group: k‑971 (India); and late-ripening group: k‑141 (China). Cowpea pod productivity depended to the greatest degree from mean values of the number of pods per plant (r = 0,73) and the number of peduncles (r = 0,71). The identified correlations in the productivity components make it possible to optimize the selection of accessions promising as source materials for the development of new high-yielding cultivars.
