Improvement of spring wheat cultivation technologies for sustainable development of agriculture in the Volga region

Abstract

The use of synthetic biologically active substances in the technology of cultivation of spring wheat contributes to an increase in its productivity, stable, high yields, and, consequently, to   a sustainable and effective development of agriculture. In the course of our research, we studied the effect of pre-sowing seed treatment with selenium-containing biologically active substances with varying agrophones on the production process of spring wheat in the conditions of leached chernozems of the Saratov Right Bank. The stimulating effect of biologically active substances (selenochromylium perchlorate   and selenochromene) on the sowing qualities of spring wheat (Belyanka and Prokhorovka varieties) was established. A significant increase in the yield of the studied varieties of soft spring wheat was  during inoculation of seeds with solutions of selenochromylium perchlorate   and selenochromene. The application  of biologically active substances, especially selenium-containing substances, increased the payback of mineral fertilizers with an additional harvest. The selenochromene  preparation on the crops of the Prokhorovka variety was the most effective. It is shown that the application  of biologically active substances is an effective way to increase the productivity of agricultural crops.
