Influence of environmental conditions and sowing rates on winter wheat yield

The objective of this paper was to examine influence of sowing rate, environmental conditions and genotype on yield and traits important for yield formation ( number of ears m-2, number of spikelet’ s per ear and 1000 kernel weight) of winter wheat. Research work was conducted on five winter wheat genotypes, sown with three different sowing rates (400, 500 and 600 germinable seeds m-2), during two vegetation years. Genotypes and sowing rates had different influence on examined traits. Significant differences in yield were found in both vegetation years among examined genotypes and in one vegetation year among sowing rates. Results have sown that even with lower sowing rate it is possible to achieve high winter wheat yield and that lower sowing rates can be recommended under optimal sowing conditions.
