Abstract
It was discovered that among the chickpea cultivars, Yarina had the highest productivity including 2.82–3.40 t/ha, which is signifi cantly higher compared to cultivars Pamyat and Triumf. Under conditions of suffi cient humidity of the western forest-steppe, the productivity of the chickpea was observed at a seeding rate of 0.8 M/ha. Lower seeding rates led to the decrease of productivity. It was revealed that without applying herbicides and fungicides, the chickpea remains a low-yielding crop (1.28 t/ha). It was discovered that the chickpea’s productivity grew up to 2.30 t/ha, or by 1.02 t/ha, when the soil herbicide Reiser KE (2.5 l/ha) was used. In case of the three-step application scheme of fungicides such as Rex Duo, KS(0.5 l/ha) at the early phase of budding, Abacus (1.5 l/ha) during fl owering, and Folikur 250 EW, EB (1.0 l/ha) during seed fi lling, the productivity increased by 0.90 t/ha compared to the variant where fungicides were not applied. In total, due to the use of plant protection products in the experiment, the productivity increased from 1.28 t/ha to 3.21 t/ha, i.e. by 1.93 t/ha (150.8%).
