Abstract
Determinations of interaction between yield its components and foliar mixed application of Lactofol® with insecticides and herbicides. The path-coefficient analysis is very important statistical technique that can be used to quantify the interrelationship of different yield components. It was applied to study the interaction of applied agronomic activities on productivity of mid-early Bulgarian garden peas Pisum sativum cv. Promethei seeking to minimize pesticide use and to maintain sustainable quality and quantity of yield, and to prevent underground water pollution caused by using Dual 930EK/930g/l-s (metachloras) minimized herbicide doses from vegetative herbicide Basagran-200g/l (Bentazon) and Fusillade-200g/l (Fluasifop-P-Butil). Data was collected from long years trials on plants treated with different combinations of foliar suspension fertilizer Lactofol® with insecticides and herbicides. Results showed that grain yield (0.997), dry matter of the grain (0.996), Chlorophyll "a" (0.993), Zn (0.992), N (0.991), grain/whole pod ratio (0.984), total nitrogen (0.982), K (0.975), weight of 50 grains (0.973) fresh weight of 50 beans (0.962), fertile pollen (0.961), plant density/ m2 (0,873), the length of beans (0.871), sterile pollen (0.837) had positive impact on yield. Dry matter, grain yield, dry matter of grains, chla, N, weight of 50 pods, fertile pollen, and plant density/ m2 showed positive direct and indirect effects on yield. Other factors such as sugars (0.797), chlorophyll “b” (0.739), and starch (0.620) had an indirect effect on total yield. Grain yield should be given prior attention in field pea improvement programmers due to its major influence on yield. This research gave valuable information about which steps of agro techniques needs more attention to enhance best quality and quantity of sustainable yield.
