Formation of productivity of binary and single-species cenosis in the conditions of the Western Forest-Steppe by N. М. RUDАVSКА, H. S. КОNYК, А. М. SHUVАR, L. L. BЕHЕN, О. F. ТYМCHYSHYN, H. М. DОRОТА

“…Mineral fertilizer N32P32K32 ensured the formation of a greater number of beans, the mass and number of grains in the ear, and plant productivity, but had a negative effect on the process of root nodule formation: in mixtures with vetch, their mass decreased by 0.82–0.84 g/plant (to 0.52–0.66 g), in mixtures with lupine – by 0.07–0.17 g/plant (to 2.29–2.36 g). The same pattern was observed in single-species crops. Reduction of the seeding rate of the grain component by 1 million germinated seeds/ha in mixtures with legumes contributed to the increase in the number of grains in the ear (panicle) and seeds in the bean pod. …”
