ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Based on the results of a two-year study on the impact of agro-ecological conditions in Serbia in the regions of the Sava River and the Danube River, the possibility of introducing Khorasan wheat in the three most important agricultural regions of Libya was analyzed using the EPIC model (Erosion Productivity Impact Calculator). The EPIC method was used to analyze precipitation and temperature, which have the biggest impact on the growth and development of wheat. It has been found that by choosing the most suitable production technology, Khorasan wheat can be grown as a winter or facultative-winter crop in these areas.
