Lentil Ervum lens L. (syn. Lens esculenta Moensch) is the valuable legume food and forage crop. Influence of Albit on lentil was examined in trials of All-Russia Institute of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (Moscow oblast) in 2001 on lentil var. Penzenskaya-14. Different variants of presowing treatment (30-50 ml of Albit/tonne of seeds) alone or in combination with foliar spraying (30-50 ml of Albit/hectare) were tested. Albit treatments increased germination in field conditions by 5% and shoot length averagely by 10%. Yield in control set (untreated) was 9.9. centners/hectare;yield increase over control due to Albit application was 0.6-1.3 centners/hectare depending of treatment mode (0.9 centners/hectare on average).
Nowadays Albit is the only pesticide officially registered in Russia to use on lentil.
