INFLUENCE OF SOWING TECHNOLOGY ON WINTER WHEAT CROP
Keywords:
winter wheat, sowing technologies, germination, productivityAbstract
The experiments were made in 2022-2023 years at Training Farm of Vytautas Magnus University Agricultural Academy. Soil of the experiment field - Calc(ar)ic - Epihypogleyic Luvisol (LVg – p – w - cc).
During the experiment were evaluated winter wheat germination, productive crop density, grain and straw biomass productivity. The best germination was obtained by using arable technology. 3rd germination day in non-arable technology fields emerged winter wheat seedlings were 44,1 pct. and 10th germination day – 13,6 pct. less than arable technology. Productive crop density in the end of stem elongation and fully ripe stages higher (respectively 27,1 pct. and 29,7 pct.) using non arable sowing technology. There were no important differences in grain and straw biomass yields between sowing technologies under the experiment conditions, but greater results were gained in Strip-Till: grain yield higher 9,6 pct., straw biomass – 17,4 pct.
