Abstract

Eastern goat's rue, or Galega orientalis (Galega orientalis Lam.) of the non-traditional species, is the most valuable and widespread in the production conditions of a perennial legume crop. Eastern goat's rue is characterized by high green mass productivity, reaching 50 t/ha or more. As of 2020, 16 eastern goat's rue varieties have been registered in the State Register of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use in Rus-sia. Some eastern goat's rue varieties have a limited adaptive potential and react with a significant de-crease in seed and feed productivity when cultivated in atypical conditions. To increase the efficiency of economic use and expand the area of crops of this crop, it is necessary to develop new varieties with new economically useful and distinctive features, high adaptive potential. Currently, the issue of identifying varieties is relevant. The creation of varieties with marker phenotypic characteristics significantly facili-tates the task of seed production and compliance with the rights of patent holders. The new variety eastern goat's rue West has a visually pronounced morphotypic characteristic — purple-pink (lilac) color of the flowers. The average yield of the green mass of the West variety for the first three years of use is 36.5 t/ha, while that of the Gale variety is 32.8 t/ha, or 11% less. Collection of dry matter, 6.33 and 5.73 t/ha, respectively. Under favorable conditions, the yield of green mass in the sum of two mowing from the grass stand of the third and older years of life can reach 65–70 t/ha or more, the yield of dry matter-up to 14 t/ha. The average yield of seeds of the West variety was: in the first year of use — 74 kg / ha, in the second-397 kg/ha, in the third-427 kg/ha, which, accordingly, is higher by 34–15–31% in relation to the Gale variety. In favorable years, the actual collection of seeds of the West variety is 597–612 kg/ha, the biological yield is up to 800 kg/ha or more.
