Efficiency of biopreparations application in organic buckwheat production

Buckwheat is a highly profitable and strategically important crop in Ukraine, and its cultivation in organic production is becoming particular relevant due to the global and domestic trend for healthy eating. Organic buckwheat, grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and mineral fertilizers, has a higher market price and better export prospects, which makes it attractive for agricultural producers. In our country, there is currently a shortage of scientifically based research and effective recommendations for optimizing buckwheat cultivation technology in organic farming, particularly in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The aim of the work was to determine the effectiveness of the use of biological products and growth regulators (in particular, Biocomplex–BTU, Potassium Humate, Humisol) (the products are permitted for use in organic production in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of Ukraine in the field of organic production, circulation and labelling of organic products; Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) No. 2018/848 of May 30, 2018 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2021/1165 of July 15, 2021) to increase the yield and improve the quality indicators of buckwheat grain of three varieties: Antaria, Syn–3/02, and Yaroslavna. The research was carried out on the basis of the T.G. Shevchenko Agricultural Research Station in the village of Trostinka, Vasylkiv district, Kyiv region. The soil of the experimental plot is represented by typical leached chornozem, of medium depth, low humidity, coarse-grained, slightly loamy on carbonate loess. It has been established that the inclusion of biological products in agrotechnology provides a significant increase in yield compared to the control. Comprehensive treatment (seeds + vegetation) with potassium humate demonstrated the highest efficiency. In this variant, the maximum yield was recorded in the Syn-3/02 variety (2.30 t/ha), which was an increase of 0.41 t/ha compared to the control. The use of potassium humate also provided the maximum increase in quality indicators: the content of crude protein in grain increased to 14.68 % in the studied varieties, which is 4.86 % more compared to the control. It has been determined that the biologization of agricultural technology is a key factor in increasing of organic buckwheat productivity and significantly improves its nutritional value, which is crucial for ensuring the competitiveness of Ukrainian organic products.

Key words: organic production, buckwheat, biopreparations, crude protein, yield.
