Acta Sci. Pol., Agricultura 10(4) 2011, 79-86 REACTION OF SPRING WHEAT CV. PARABOLA TO DIVERSIFIED SOWING DENSITY Wacław Jarecki, Dorota Bobrecka-Jamro University of Rzeszów1 Abstract. In the years 2008-2010 an field experiment was carried out, whose aim was determination of reaction of spring wheat to diversified sowing rates of: 350, 450, 550, 650, and 750 grains·m-2. The experiment was carried out on soil of bonitation class IIIa. As expected, together with the increase of the sowing density, plant density also increased as well as ear density per area unit. It was also observed that the applied sowing rates significantly modified the grain number per ear as well as the weight of 1000 seeds. With the sowing rate of 650 grains per m2, the grain yield was 7.26 t·ha-1 and was significantly higher compared with the yield from plots where the sowing rates were as follows: 350, 450 and 750 grains per m2. Uniformity and plumpness of the grain were 88.14%. Key words: cultivation effectiveness, grain plumpness, grain uniformity, sowing density, yield components INTRODUCTION Sowing rate is one of the most important elements of agricultural techniques of spring wheat determining the basic yield-forming element, which is the number of ears per area unit. Kuś and Jończyk [2003] as well as Leszczyńska et al. [2007] state that a vast majority of spring wheat cultivars require sowing of approximately 450 grains per m2, which results, among others, from its poor tillering. However, they emphasize that this norm depends on the habitat-agrotechnical conditions. Increasing the sowing rate is justified e.g. on a poorer soil or with delayed sowing. According to Sułek [2001], Wesołowski and Kwiatkowski [2004], denser sowing favorably affects some parameters of spring wheat and increases its yield. Wesołowski et al. [2003], Kapeluszny [2002, 2004], Olsen et al. [2006] and Haliniarz [2010] additionally indicate that increase of the sowing norm partly reduces weed infestation of the stand. Chrzanowska-Drożdż and Kaczmarek [2006], the highest level of spring wheat yield obtained however with low rates of sowing: 300 and 400 grains per m2. Leszczyńska et al. [2007] found that high sowing density does not affect the increase of the grain yield in basic cereals because Corresponding author – Adres do korespondencji: dr inż. Wacław Jarecki, Department of Crop Production of University of Rzeszów, Zelwerowicza 4, 35-601 Rzeszów, e-mail: [email protected] 80 W. Jarecki, D. Bobrecka-Jamro their tillering decreases, as well as productivity of a single ear, and infection occurrence increases as well as the degree of lodging, especially at a higher level of nitrogen fertilization. In the case of a low sowing density, with minor plant losses, however, productive tillering increased, as there occurred the phenomenon of self-control of stand density. Sułek and Mazurek [2001] as well as Sułek [2004], on the basis of their own research, prove the necessity of dividing spring wheat cultivars into ones requiring sparser and denser sowing. Similarly, Podolska [1997], separated two groups of spring wheat cultivars which reacted differently to sowing rates. The aim of the research was determination of reaction of spring wheat to diversified sowing density: 350, 450, 550, 650, and 750 grains·m-2. The research hypothesis assumed that cultivar Parabola would require concentrated sowing. Choice of cultivar was dictated by the fact that it is recommended for cultivation in Podkarpackie Voivodeship by the Research Centre for Cultivar Testing. MATERIAL AND METHODS Field experiments with spring wheat cv. Parabola were carried out in the years 2008-2010 at an Experimental Station of the Faculty of Biology and Agriculture of the University of Rzeszow in Krasne near Rzeszow (50°03’ N; 22°06’ E). The experiment was set on soil of bonitation class IIIa, of pH in the range from 5.10 (2009) to 5.94 (2010). The content of phosphorus, potassium and microelements determined in soil was average, however the magnesium content was very low (Table 1). The analysis of soil samples was carried out at the Regional Chemical-Agricultural Station in Rzeszow. Table 1. Results of soil analysis Tabela 1.

The studied factor was the diversified sowing density of: 350, 450, 550, 650, and 750 grains·m-2. The row spacing was 12 cm, and the depth of sowing 3 cm. The sowing was conducted on the following dates: 11 April 2008, 09 April 2009, 13 April 2010. The forecrop every year was spring rape. Plot area was 15 m2 (for harvest 12 m2). P-K fertilization applied under autumn ploughing was: 43.6 kg P·ha-1 and 116.2 kg K·ha-1. Nitrogen fertilization (34% ammonium saltpeter) was applied on two dates: 60 kg N·ha-1 before sowing and 60 kg N·ha-1 at the stage of shooting. During growth, Chwastox Extra 300 SL was used for weed control, Alfamor 050 SC for pest control, while Alert 375 SC was used for disease control. In the growing period of wheat, observations were carried out of the growth and plant development. They included: emergence, tillering, shooting, earing, maturation. On the area of 1 m2 plant density was calculated at the stage of full emergence as well Acta Sci. Pol. 81 Reaction of spring wheat... as the number of ears before harvest. The number of plants before harvest was calculated by pulling up the plants from the area of 0.5 m2. Based on the obtained results, the coefficient of productive tillering was calculated (ear number divided by the plant number per m2). Lodging evaluation has been given in the range from 1 to 9° at the stage of tillering. At the stage of technical maturity, 20 representative plants were collected from each plot and the yield components were determined: grain number per ear and weight of one thousand grains (with 15% moisture). The division of grains into fractions was conducted on the K-type Sortimat laboratory separator. A single sample was 100 g, grain moisture 14.5%, and the time of shaking 3 minutes. The measurement was carried out on sieves with openings of diameters of: 2.2, 2.5 and 2.8 mm. The harvest was conducted in a single-stage on: 6 August 2008, 5 August 2009 and 5 August 2010. Grain yield from plots was calculated per 1 ha with 15% moisture. Obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis: analysis of variance (according to split-plot design). Significance of differences between trait values were tested based on the Tukey’s honestly significant difference test, with the significance level of P = 0.05. Statistical program ANALWAR 5FR was used for calculations. In the final stage of study, simplified economical results of spring wheat cultivation were calculated with a diversified sowing density. They included only the cost of the seed material. The prices were taken from the source data of Podkarpackie Agricultural Advisory Centre in Boguchwała. In the years of research, weather conditions (Table 2) had a modifying effect on the growth and development of plants. First of all, the rainfall total was unstable. In the period between April and August, it was 410.4 mm in 2008, 372.5 mm in 2009 and 651.8 mm in 2010. Average monthly air temperatures were less diversified. Weather conditions are given according to Agrometeorological Reports of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMiGW) in Warsaw, from the reports of the Meteorological Station in Jasionka near Rzeszow.

Full emergence was observed after 11-15 days since the date of sowing. The stage of tillering occurred after 30-37 days, stage of shooting after 45-52 days and earing after 62-70 days since the date of sowing (Table 3). Applied sowing rates did not modify the Agricultura 10(4) 2011 82 W. Jarecki, D. Bobrecka-Jamro duration of development stages of plants. The shortest growing period was observed in 2010 (114 days),while the longest in 2009 (118 days). Table 3. Growing period of spring wheat in days since the date of sowing Tabela 3.

Similar results in this field were obtained also by other authors [Sułek and Mazurek 2001, Nieróbca 2004, Wesołowski and Kwiatkowski 2004, Chrzanowska-Drożdż and Kaczmarek 2006]. Canopy lodging was the highest with the sowing density of 750 grains·m-2. Table 4. Plant density (mean from 2008-2010) Tabela 4.

The greatest significant difference of the discussed parameter was obtained between variants of the lowest and the highest sowing density, and it was over 22% (Table 5). Sułek and Mazurek [2001] also proved that the increase of plant density of spring wheat decreases ear productivity, and in most cultivars it concerns mainly the grain number per ear. Weight of one thousand grains in the conducted experiment was on average 38.1 g. Diversification of sowing density had a significant effect on the grain plumpness, which was statistically confirmed (Table 5). Obtained results were similar to the research of Chrzanowska-Drożdż and Kaczmarek [2006]. According to the mentioned authors, weight of 1000 grains decreases with the increase of the sowing density.

Obtained difference was approximately 5%. Chrzanowska-Drożdż and Kaczmarek [2006] indicate however a different reaction of spring wheat (cultivars Żura and Napola) to diversification of the sowing rates. These authors found that concentrated sowing of 600 grains·m2 compared with the mean density of 400 grains·m2 caused a significant decrease in the yield by 0.29 t·ha-1. Table 6.

In the research of Wesołowski and Kwiatkowski [2004], the highest grain yield was obtained after sowing 550 grains·m-2. Sułek and Mazurek [2001], Sułek [2004] as well as Leszczyńska [2007], found that a rational sowing rate depends on the species and cultivar of cereal, as well as on a wide variety of habitat-agrotechnical factors. Increase in the sowing rate resulted in the increase of costs of the seed material. After calculating the difference between the yield value on particular plots and the costs of the certified seed material, it was found that sowing of 350 and 650 grains·m-2 allows to obtain a favorable economical effect. Sowing of 750 grains·m-2 however, is financially unjustified (Table 7). Agricultura 10(4) 2011 84 W. Jarecki, D. Bobrecka-Jamro Table 7. Simplified economic analysis* (mean from 2008-2010) Tabela 7.

Proportion of grains of diameter equal to 2.80 mm and greater, as well as of the diameter from 2.50 to 2.79 mm, were 57.82% and 30.32%, respectively. Thus, uniformity and plumpness of grain were 88.14%. The finest grains, screened by the sieve with the diameter of openings 2.20 mm, constituted only 1.74%. In the research of Cacak-Pietrzak et al. [2005], grain plumpness of spring wheat cultivars was lower than uniformity. Mentioned authors obtained plumpness similar to uniformity only in two winter wheat cultivars, Kobra and Zorza. Table 8.

Increase in the sowing density resulted in the increase of the ear number per m2, and the significant decrease of the grain number per ear and the weight of 1000 grains. 3. The highest grain yield was obtained when sowing 650 grains·m-2. Significantly lower grain yield was obtained on plots with sowing rates of: 350, 450 and 750 grains·m-2. Acta Sci. Pol.
