METHODS FOR INCREASING THE FIELD EMERGENCE OF WINTER WHEAT SEEDS
Relevance. Getting good shoots is one of the decisive conditions for a high yield of grain crops. In the conditions of the Republic of Dagestan, large areas of fields have heavy clay soils. Their preparation for sowing winter wheat takes a significant part of the energy consumption for the cultivation of this crop. Bringing the aggregate state of the soil (aggregates 0.25-10mm) to the required level at low soil moisture is very difficult. The aim of the research is a comparative assessment of processing techniques according to the indicator - "the number of shoots per unit area." Methods and methodology. An agrotechnical assessment of the implementation of pre-sowing soil preparation with various tools was carried out. When determining the number of seedlings, we used generally accepted methods. Discussion. The article presents the results of studies of the influence of various methods of pre-sowing soil cultivation on the germination of winter wheat seeds and the identification of the most effective methods of pre-sowing soil preparation for winter wheat.
