The Search For Source Material Of Phacelia Tanacetifolia Benth For Breeding For Fodder Productivity

Abstract The genetic resources of wild populations the valuable forage crop Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. in different ecological conditions southern Srednerusskaya Upland were studied. Selected source material for breeding fodder productivity.In Vorskla natural-territorial complex individuals which on average 6.9-27.7% exceeded other cenopopulations by height and bush size. forms with high potential qualities are distinguished: low hairiness leaves stems, dry matter content - 20.9-21.6%, protein 19.4-20.4%, crude fat 2.1-2.3%, soluble carbohydrates 34.6-36.5%, green yield 2,32-2,44 kg*(m2)-1, seeds 0,032-0,038 kg*(m2)-1. best collected transferred to collections Federal Williams Reserch Center Forage Production Agroecology, All-Russian Research Institute Phytopathology, Belgorod State University new disease resistant varieties.
