QUALITATIVE INDEXES OF SEEDS OF LENTIL VARIETIES

The article presents the results of investigations on qualitative indexes of seeds of lentil varieties which is considered one of important crop types for food security. The influence of cultivation technology and agrotechnical measures on the quality of lentil grains has been studied. Local varieties of lentil “Oltin don”, “Darmon” and “Sarbon” varieties were chosen for experiments and whenever their physical-chemical content was analyzed, their seed moisture constituted 8,37-8,59 %, ash amount made 3,10-3,17 % and protein amount showed 22,2-25,4 % . Moreover, there have been stated about the dependence of products quality on the parameters and also the influence of cultivation technology and applied agrotechnics on the quality of grains. Qualitative indexes of local varieties of lentil “Oltin don”, “Darmon” and “Sarbon” have been noted as correspondable to requirements. The impact of physical structure on qualitative indexes of lentil grains and chemical content of grains have been noted too. After maturation the study of lentil grains in special grain processing facilities under standard requirements has been highlighted too.
