Abstract

The growth, development, and yield formation of winter bread wheat depends on renewal of vegetation date (RVD). This is one of the environmental factors most affecting the production process of plants. Purpose. To identify the peculiarities of the manifestation of biometric indicators in the genotypes of winter bread wheat at renewal of spring vegetation date in the conditions of the central Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Methods: field, laboratory, statistical. Results. It was established that biocenosis formation of winter wheat at renewal of spring vegetation date significantly depended on growing conditions, sowing date, genotype and their interaction. Weather conditions were the dominant (25.2÷69.5%) significant for the influence. It was determined that after renewal of spring vegetation the influence of genotype (its ability to intensive growth and adequate response to changes in environmental conditions) and its interaction with the growing season conditions on all biometric indicators significantly increased. It was noted that under favorable hydrothermal regime, the level of realization of plant potential was maximum, while under conditions of soil and air drought it was minimum. This must be taken into account in breeding process, study of the source material, and selection of genotypes with specified parameters. The breeding line LUT 55198 had the highest biomass on average according to the experiment, which at the RVD formed phytocenosis with stem number per plant 2.60 pcs, leaf number per plant 7.74 pcs, plant height 16.51 cm, and plant weight 0.80 g. The level of variability in plant height was moderate (Cv = 14.08%) and for leave number, stem number, and plant weight it was significant (Cv = 18.39%; Cv = 21.54% and Cv = 29.89%, respectively).
