Crop contamination and spring wheat yield depending on the systems of pre-sowing tillage

Abstract

This research has been conducted to study the influence of pre-sowing tillage methods on the crop contamination and spring wheat yield. It has been established that the use of continuous cultivation in the system of pre-sowing tillage contributes to the reduction of crop contamination by 21.2-45.1 %. That allowed obtaining a higher grain yield of 2.48-2.54 t/ha with a protein content of 11.74-11.80 %. The gluten was 25.0-25.4 % of the first quality group and with a vitreous content of 53.2-54.4 %.
