THE EFFECTIVE METHOD OF THE YIELD OF PEA INCREASING IN THE STEPPE ZONE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Global warming leads to a significant decrease in the yield of most crops in the steppe zone of Ukraine, which has led to large losses of moisture due to evaporation from the soil and leaf cover of plants. To prevent this, it is possible to make better use of winter-spring moisture and avoid the effects of high temperatures on plants in summer. Our research has shown that such requirements are met by winter sowing of pea, which allows to accelerate the growth of plants, improve their water regime, harvest 15-20 days earlier. Sowing varieties of Moroz and Enduro in mid-October makes it possible to get good seedlings in autumn, which survive the winter without significant damage.
