The study of correlation between productivity and morphobiological traits of the collection peas samples

Abstract

The current paper has presented the study results of correlation between productivity and morphobiological traits of the collection peas samples. The study was carried out at the FSBSI “AgriculturalResearchCenter“Donskoy”, located in the southern part of theRostovregion. The purpose of the study was to analyze the correlation between the quantitative traits of collection peas samples and their productivity. The study of the pea collection was conducted in the collection nursery of pea in 2017–2019, in accordance with the IPI methodology for the study of legumes (1975), the methodology of the State Commission for Variety Testing of Agricultural Crops (2019) and the methodology of a fi trial (2012). The objects of the study were 100 samples of pea of domestic and foreign breeding taken from the world collection of VIGR named after N. I. Vavilov. The variety “Aksaysky Usaty5”was used as a standard variety. The forecrop was winter wheat. The sowing of the collection samples was carried out in the third decade of March with the SSFK-7 seeder, with a seeding rate of million germinating seeds per1 ha, with a row width of15 cm. The plots contained seven rows. The plot area was5 m2 with a single repetition. The registration plot was0.25 m2. There has been identifi that in 2017-2019 the average productivity ranged from 1.12 t/ha (“Omega”,Moldova) to 2.82 t/ha (“Kazanets”, Rossiya) with average 2.13 t/ha in the collection. The most productive samples were plants with a plant height of 45–55 cm, an average number of beans 2.7–3.3 pcs/plant, 1000 seed weight of 210–270 g, a vegetation period of 69–73 days, and seed weight per plant of 3.3–4.3 g, an average number of seeds 13–19 pcs/plant. The study results of correlation between productivity and morphobiological traits of the collection peas samples are going to be used as an initial material in further breeding work.
