Abstract

The current study is aimed at evaluating the reaction of winter wheat varieties according to cultivation technologies at a different level of intensity i.e. basic, intensive and high intensive. The cultivation technologies included fertilizers, pesticides and growth regulators at different combinations and concentrations. The experiment was established in order to determine the optimum conditions of winter wheat cultivation. Three winter wheat varieties were studied: Moskovskaya 40 (V1), Nemchinovskaya 17 (V2) and Nemchinovskaya 85 (V3). Yield performances and grain quality (measured through protein and gluten content) were determined according to the tested cultivation technologies. The results showed that the cultivation technology affected grain wheat productivity and quality on all varieties studied, since the highest yields were obtained using high intensive cultivation technology for all varieties studied, Moskovskaya 40 - 9.65 t/h, Nemchinovskaya 17 - 8.58 t/h and Nemchinovskaya 85 - 9.87 t/h. However, according to the basic technology, the yield was lower by 2064 %. The tested cultivation technologies demonstrated that high intensive cultivation technology increased wheat quality. The highest protein content (18 %) was recorded in Nemchinovskaya 85 variety. The present results give real opportunities for a largescale application of the tested cultivation technologies in different agricultural lands of Russia.

Highlights

  • Winter wheat occupies a significant proportion in the whole agricultural system, this crop is grown in an area of 10 million hectares in the Central Non-black region [1]

  • The results showed that the cultivation technology affected grain wheat productivity and quality on all varieties studied, since the highest yields were obtained using high intensive cultivation technology for all varieties studied, Moskovskaya 40 — 9.65 t/h, Nemchinovskaya 17 — 8.58 t/h and Nemchinovskaya 85 — 9.87 t/h

  • New approaches are used in application of scientific modern methods for regulating growth and plant development. They include the use of mineral fertilizers, considering the need for basic plant nutritive elements based on soil and plant diagnostics, the use of modern plant protection products, compliance with optimal grain seeding standards for the cultivated variety, and the use of retardants [5]

Summary

Introduction

Winter wheat occupies a significant proportion in the whole agricultural system, this crop is grown in an area of 10 million hectares in the Central Non-black region [1]. Modern cultivation technologies include a set of agricultural techniques aimed at reducing the negative effects of climate conditions, development of diseases and pests [4] In this case, new approaches are used in application of scientific modern methods for regulating growth and plant development. New approaches are used in application of scientific modern methods for regulating growth and plant development They include the use of mineral fertilizers, considering the need for basic plant nutritive elements based on soil and plant diagnostics, the use of modern plant protection products, compliance with optimal grain seeding standards for the cultivated variety, and the use of retardants [5]. Yield and protein content were measured in three winter wheat varieties
