Household biological assessment of buckwheat varieties in competitive grade testing

Abstract

Relevance One of the most effective means of increasing the yield of buckwheat in the Volga-Vyatka region is the creation of new highly productive, resistant to adverse environmental conditions and valuable quality varieties that meet the requirements of intensive agriculture. Methods One of the most effective means of increasing buckwheat yields in the Volga-Viatsk region is the creation of new high-productivity, resistant to unfavourable environmental conditions and valuable varieties that meet the requirements of intensive farming. In order to realize this goal, research work on buckwheat selection is being carried out in Nizhny Novgorod Research Agricultural Institute - Branch of Federal Agricultural Research Center of the North-East. This article presents the results of studies of promising varieties of buckwheat in the competitive class testing according to the main economic and biological indicators determining the suitability of the variety for use in agricultural production. The studies were carried out in 2016-2018 according to the method of state testing. Result As a result of the examination of nine grade samples in the competitive grade test, samples 45/14-1 and 145/15-1 were isolated for a number of household values. Their harvest averaged 1.80 and 2.03 t/ha, respectively, during the test years, which is 0.11 and 0.34 t/ ha higher than the Arrow standard. Varieties with high productivity elements are identified. It has been found that all samples studied by weight of 1000 grains belong to the group of large-grain varieties.
