Lentil Ervum lens L. (syn. Lens esculenta Moensch) is the valuable legume
food and forage crop. Influence of Albit on lentil was examined in trials of All-Russia
Institute of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (Moscow oblast) in 2001 on lentil var.
Penzenskaya-14. Different variants of presowing treatment (30-50 ml of Albit/tonne of seeds)
alone or in combination with foliar spraying (30-50 ml of Albit/hectare) were tested. Albit
treatments increased germination in field conditions by 5% and shoot length averagely by 10%.
Yield in control set (untreated) was 9.9. centners/hectare; yield increase
over control due to Albit application was 0.6-1.3 centners/hectare depending of treatment mode
(0.9 centners/hectare on average).
Nowadays Albit is the only pesticide officially registered in Russia to use on lentil.
