ABSTRACT

The present research was carried out over 1997-2000 on good rye (Agricultural Experiment Station Lipnik in the vicinity of Stargard Szczeciński) and good wheat (Agricultural Experiment Station Ostoja in the vicinity of Szczecin) soil suitability complexes in a static crop-rotation experiment, which compared the effect of soil cultivation systems: A - plough, B - ploughless, C – direct sowing (Lipnik Agricultural Experiment Station, only) on the growth, development and yielding of winter wheat in crop rotation: sugar beet – winter wheat – faba bean – winter barley + stubble intercrop (white mustard). The results presented cover winter wheat - ‘Kobra’. Irrespective of the soil cultivation system applied, significantly higher grain yields were obtained on the soil of medium quality. The reaction of plants to simplified pre-sowing cultivation depended on the soil. The light soil was observed to coincide with a significantly lower ear density and stem length, while the medium quality soil – with

Key words: soil management systems, grain yield, winter wheat, energy effectiveness.
