Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biopesticide Albit for increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov, Ed. Prof. À. Melkumova. All-Russia Institute of Plant Protection, Russia, 2006.
Influence of Albit on winter rye was examined in 3 field trials carried out in Saratov
and Penza oblasts by Saratov and Penza Regional Plant Protection Stations on rye var.
Saratovskaya-5 (1997-2000). Despite lack of scientific trials on rye, the
biopesticide established a good reputation in agricultural practice of farms of Saratov
oblast, where Albit has been used since 1997.
Averagely, according to results of the trials, application of Albit increased yield of winter rye by 3.2 centners/hectare (22.3%), and provided control of Fusarium blight and Helminthosporium root rot. Besides yield increase and control of diseases, Albit increases tillering, decreases ear emptiness, improves plant growth and coloration. Increase of drought resistance due to Albit makes possible cultivation of this quite moisture-loving culture in conditions of arid Saratov oblast.
Application recommendations of Albit for rye generally correspond to that for winter wheat. Effective ones are presowing seed treatment (30-40 ml/tonne) and foliar spraying in first half of vegetation (for example, in EC stages 20-29 in combination with herbicides).
