Selection of non -traditional honey and feed culture Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. at Central Black Earth Region

Abstract

New breeding samples of the Phacelia tanacetifolia species have been studied. The yield of seeds in sectional samples changed from 16 g/m2 to 37 g/m2. In 30 % of the samples, the indicator is significantly 21.4–32.1 % inferior to the standard, in 30 % of the samples by 25.0–32.1 % higher than the standard, and in 40 % of the samples was at the level of the standard. The yield of the dry mass of plants in collection samples changed from 140 g/m2 to 205 g/m2. According to the complex of household-useful features, selection samples 02/18, 03/18, 07/18 and 16/18 stood out in the nursery. It is planned to include them in the breeding program to create new varieties with high indicators of seed and feed productivity for the Central Black Earth region.
