INDICATORS OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVITY OF MILLET SEEDING BY RIPENING GROUPS
The article presents a comparative analysis of millet samples of the mid-early ripening and mid-ripening groups for the realization of yield potential and indicators of photosynthetic activity. Varieties of the mid-early ripening group under favorable conditions for yield reached the level of medium-ripening varieties. In dry conditions, the early ripening group of ripeness was discovered. Authentic differences in area and dry weight of leaves, photosynthetic potential, and coefficient of economic efficiency by groups of ripeness were revealed. Relatively low values of a number of indicators of photosynthetic activity of the mid-ripening group are due to arid conditions that coincide with the functioning time of the assimilation surface of the leaves.
