Integrated spring wheat protection technology

Abstract

Modern agriculture sets as its main goal the search and implementation of environmentally friendly technologies for cultivating crops, restoring soil fertility and reducing pesticidal load. One of the main components of this technology is the use of integrated pest management that use both chemical and biological plant protection products. In this regard, the aim of the work was to compare the effectiveness of individual technology elements, namely seed treatment and treatment with plant and chemical fungicides and their combination with the development of diseases, harvest and spring wheat crop. As a result of the studies, it was found that the use of the biofungicide Phytosporin-M, Zh together with chemical fungicides on spring wheat crops contributes to the greatest reduction in the development of root rot, increase in the number of productive plant stems, increases the number of grains in the ear and its weight in comparison with traditional and biologized protection technologies plants. It was found that on average over three years the highest yield of spring wheat of the Ekada 109 variety was obtained using a variant using chemical and biological fungicides (2.33 t/ha) with a profitability level of grain production of 61%.
