Correlation of basic breeding feature in the seed productivity of lentil samples

Lentils ( Lens culinaris Medic.) belong to the group of valuable high-protein food crops. For increasing their productivity, a significant role is played by breeding work. The analysis of correlative relationships between different traits can be widely used in breeding. Therefore, the aim of the current research was to determine the correlation between the main economically valuable traits in collection samples of lentils under the conditions of the Omsk Region. Research work was carried out in the fields of the Experimental Farming Unit of the Omsk State Agrarian University, located in the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia in 2016-2018. Object of the research were collection samples of lentils of various ecological and geographical origin (Russia, Germany, Turkey, Canada, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan). The Aida variety served as control sample. Over the years of the research, according to the results of the correlation analysis of the productivity elements of the lentil samples, a strong positive correlation of the yielding capacity with the mass of seeds per plant (r = 0...
