ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

This paper presents the results of two-year research (2015/16 and 2016/17) on impacts of different agro-technical measures to the yield components of four varieties of winter wheat (Nova Bosanka, Prijedorčanka, Orion and Evropa 90), grown on meliorated Deposol in the process of reclamation in the terchnogenic soil (Stanari lignite mine area). The aim of the research is to determine the impacts of years, different dosages of fertilizers (five treatments: N60+90P60K60, N60+40P60K60, N60+90P37K37, N60+40P37K37 and N0P0K0) and variety to quantitative properties of the spikes (spike length and grain number per spike). A field experiment was set up following the randomized block design method with four replications. The focus of the research was the effect of three factors: year (A), variety (B) and fertilizer (C). Comparative analyses of the researched wheat varieties for spike length and grain number per spike were performed by analysis of variance 2x4x5. The relevance of the differences was tested using the LSD test. The highest mean spike length was 8.5 cm in the Orion variety, while the smallest mean spike length was 5.0 cm in the Evropa 90 variety. A correlation was found between fertilizer treatments, the largest number of grains per spike (48.75) and the smallest number of grains per spike (13.00) in the Nova Bosanka variety. Тhe lowest mean values of the tested parameters were measured in the control. The applied agro-technical measures impact the production traits of cultivated crops оf wheat in the researched agro-ecological conditions.
