The Effect Of Tillage Systems On Yield And Quality Of Durum Wheat Cultivars, Andrzej Wozniak Jan 2013

The Effect Of Tillage Systems On Yield And Quality Of Durum Wheat Cultivars, Andrzej Wozniak

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

A field experiment was conducted for 3 years, from 2008 to 2010, in Uhrusk, Poland, to investigate the effect of tillage systems on the yield and quality of durum wheat cultivars Floradur and Lloyd. The 3 tillage systems were: 1) conventional tillage (CT) - shallow ploughing and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing in the autumn; 2) reduced tillage (RT) - only a cultivator was used after harvest of the previous crop; and 3) herbicide tillage (HT) - only Roundup 360 SL was used after harvest of the previous crop. Both cultivars were found to respond differently to …

The effect of water reduction stress on photosynthetic efficiency and the agronomic traits of 10 bread winter wheat cultivars were investigated, with an aim to develop breeding methods for improving wheat drought tolerance. In the 2008 and 2009 crop seasons, the trial was grown in vegetative pots according to the method of a 2-factorial experiment (cultivar and treatment) as a randomized complete block with 3 replications. The stressed version of the treatment was exposed to mild water reduction short-term stress 3 times (at the end of tillering stage, at the flag leaf to beginning of heading stage, and at the …
