Description:

This article examines the effectiveness of the Leanum biofertilizers in cultivating the "Yaroslava" buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) variety. Four application variants of the biofertilizers were tested: control (no treatment), pre-sowing seed inoculation, foliar feeding, and their combination. The analysis included each variant's biometric indicators, yield, yield structure, and economic efficiency. The research results indicate a significant increase in buckwheat productivity using biofertilizers. The highest yield increase was recorded with the combined application of inoculation and foliar feeding (I + F), which led to an increase in grain mass per plant and a higher weight of 1000 grains. The results demonstrate biofertilizers' potential for increasing buckwheat productivity and promoting the sustainable development of agricultural production. Implementing such technologies will not only boost yields but also optimize costs and reduce environmental impact by reducing the usage of mineral fertilizers.
