Issue №: 2 (41)
This issue of the journal is dedicated to current issues in improving technological methods for crop cultivation. Significant attention is given to the specifics of growing vegetable, grain and leguminous crops, which play a vital role in ensuring the state's food security. The scientific publications present the results of experimental research on the production of organic leguminous products, the importance of adaptive breeding to increase the resilience of agrocenoses, plant protection against harmful objects and the application of fertilizers to increase crop yields. Certain papers are devoted to the implementation of innovative methods for stimulating the seed productivity of forest seed plantations.
INFLUENCE OF SEED SOWING RATE ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WINTER TRITICALE IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHT-BANK FOREST-STEP
Vladyslav Melnychuk, Junior Researcher, Laboratory of Grain and Industrial Crop Growing Technologies, Institute of Feed Research and Agriculture of Podillia of NAAS, (16 Yunosti Ave., Vinnytsia, Ukraine, 21021, e-mail: melnichukvlad@i.ua, ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0007-8566-7734).
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of seed sowing rates on the formation of general and productive bushiness of crops, as well as on the level of winter triticale grain yield in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe. The following methods were used in the study: general scientific (hypothesis, experiment, observation), accounting, laboratory and statistical data analysis, field research. As a result of field research, it was found that the seed sowing rate of winter triticale seeds of the Bozhych variety in the amount of 3.5, 4.5 and 6.0 million pcs./ha did not affect its field germination, the passage of autumn stages of organogenesis and the level of plant overwintering. During the period of spring tillering of plants, 345 shoots were additionally formed and their average number in the experiment was 1019 pcs./m2. The maximum value of this indicator was 1154 pcs./m2, which was when sowing 6.0 million seeds per 1 ha. At the sowing rate of 3.5 million similar seeds per 1 ha, the largest number of productive stems was formed, 2.2 pcs. per plant, which is one productive stem more than when sowing 6.0 million similar seeds per 1 ha. At the same time, when sowing 6.0 million similar seeds per 1 ha, the number of productive stems was the largest per unit area and amounted to 592 pcs./m2. The maximum grain weight from one ear was 1.38 g when sowing 3.5 million similar seeds/ha. At the same time, winter triticale crops with higher productivity of a single plant when sowing 3.5 million similar seeds per 1 ha were inferior in productivity to crops formed when sowing 6.0 million similar seeds per 1 ha. In the context of increasing risks of natural and technogenic origin in the agrocenoses of the grain field of the unstable moisture zone of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe, an attempt to increase the productivity of winter triticale sowing by increasing the number of productive stems due to a decrease in the seed sowing rate is risky and not always impractical.
