Ecological and geographical testing of lentils in the conditions of the steppe of the Russian Federation

The article presents the results of an ecological study of lentil varieties in the steppe conditions of the Lower Volga region and the Republic of Crimea. The study revealed the yield of lentil varieties at various test points. Evaluation of variety in terms of adaptability made it possible to distribute them into the following groups: 1 - extensive forms with very low phenotypic stability (Orlovskaya red); 2 - forms with high phenotypic stability (Octave, Delta, Hope, Ruby, Light, Rauza, Aida, Eastern); 3 - intensive form with reduced phenotypic stability (Danae); 4 - intensive form with low phenotypic stability (Piquant).
