Development of a New Technology for Regulating the Water Regime of Triticale in Natural Conditions With the Application of Ameliorant and Fertilizers

Abstract

In order to mitigate the devastating effects of drought on the pebbly dark brown soils of the foothill zone, where, according to the average annual data, 520-560 mm of precipitation falls, and the average annual temperature is 10.80°C, the agronomic and economic efficiency of the application of ameliorative and full (NPK) fertilizers regulating the water regime of the soil has been tested in the sowing of autumn triticale. Through experimental research, the positive effect of polymer-mineral additive and fertilizers on the hydro-physical properties of the soil and drought resistance of plants was revealed, as a result of which the water regime of plants was improved, and the grain yield of autumn triticale, compared with the tester, increased by 66.7%.
