Periods of development and dynamic parameters of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) yield formation

Abstract

There is a problem of vegetable protein deficiency for feed, processing and nutrition in many countries: to produce or import? White lupin cultivation in Russia is important due its high potential seed and protein yield. The breeding program for creating cultivars of white lupin with a determinant type of growth and the study of the dynamic parameters of the yield formation was carried out in many years of research in the northern part of the Central-Chernozem region of Russia. Experiments were conducted at the experimental field in Tambov region. Cultivar is one of the main components of resource-saving technologies. For the first time in Russia, under these conditions, cultivars of white lupin with a determinant type of growth were created. Among them are Start, Gamma, Delta, Dega, Deter1, Timiryazevskiy with different plant architectonics.
