THE EFFECT OF APPLICATION OF MINERAL FERTILIZER RATE AT DIFFERENT DEPTH ON THE NUMBER OF PRODUCTIVE STEMS OF WINTER WHEAT

Abstract

It is well known that the wheat plant requires nutrients at different levels from seed germination to the ripening phase. If these nutrients are not available in the soil, nutrient deficiency begins to occur in the vegetative organs of the plants, especially in the stems, leaves and spikes. As a result of the occurrence of food shortage, the biometric indicators of the varieties change to different degrees. Taking these circumstances into account, we also conducted observation and analysis of variants in our research conducted in 2015-2018 in order to determine the effect of the factors applied to variants on the height, total and productive stems of winter wheat varieties.
