INFLUENCE OF SEEDING RATE ON THE PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY OF SOFT SPRING WHEAT GRAIN (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.)

[...]of the research, it was found that the highest density of standing was obtained on the variant with a seeding rate of 6.0 million pcs ha"1 - 522 pcs m2 with plant preservation during the growing season of 86.8% (453.1 pcs m2). According to the results of the research, it was studied that at a seeding rate of 6.0 million pcs ha"1, the highest yield of spring wheat grain was obtained - 5.63 t ha"1, and the maximum quality indicators of gluten and protein content at a seeding rate of 5.5 million pcs ha"1 - 25.5, 13.82%, respectively. Significant success in social and cultural development is achieved only by those countries that are able to ensure the highest quality of their products. [...]the grain industry of Ukraine is faced with the task of ensuring a stable growth of grain production and the achievement of certain quality characteristics, which should satisfy both all the needs of the country in the domestic market and provide an opportunity to be competitive in the foreign market (Kaflevska and Kozyar, 2013). Varieties that are characterized by high bushiness and plant height, unstable to lodging, provide maximum grain yield at reduced seeding rates, and low-growing and semi-dwarf varieties - at increased ones. [...]for undersized and semidwarf varieties, it is recommended to increase the seeding rate by 0.5-1.0 million pcs ha"1, compared to tall varieties.
