Fodder beans |

Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biopesticide Albit for
increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov,
Ed. Prof. À. Melkumova. All-Russia Institute of Plant Protection, Russia, 2006.
Influence of Albit on fodder beans was examined in trials carried out on plots of All-Russia
Institute of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (Moscow oblast) in 2001 on mid-season
small-seeded beans (Vicia faba v. minor Beok.) var. Orletskie.
Beens treated with Albit acquired increased germination under field
conditions (approx. by 5%). Albit-treated plants demonstrated visibly increased growth
and shoot length (approximately by 10% over control) already 2-5 days after treatment.
Plants grown on Albit-treated plots started flowering 2-3 days earlier
than in control set. Albit treatment (50 ml/tonne+30 ml/hectare) increased yield
of beans by 1.9 centners/hectare (15.7%).
