Tridge summary

The article highlights the potential of lentil farming in Ukraine, a country with similar weather conditions to Canada's steppe provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta). Lentil yield in arid conditions is similar to chickpea, making it a promising crop for the steppe region. The article cites Canada's experience as evidence, showing that leguminous crops, especially peas and lentils, are increasingly being cultivated in the steppe region due to their high yield. The article also mentions that the potential for chickpea farming in the steppe zone is increasing with the gradual aridization of the climate.

Lentil in Ukraine is an unpopular crop, although its yield in arid conditions is very close to chickpea and is mostly 12-15 t/ha. Therefore, the prospects of increasing the cultivated area under it are real, writes The Ukrainian Farmer magazine. This can also be evidenced by Canada's experience gained in the steppe provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which are very similar to the Steppe of Ukraine in terms of weather factors. In recent years, there have been significant changes in the sown areas of leguminous crops. Soybeans in this country are located in the rather wet province of Ontario, which borders the United States. Therefore, its yield is quite high, but the area has already ...
