Grâul durum de toamnă în condiţiile climatice contraste ale anilor 2007-2008

Abstract

Winter durum wheat as a biological type of winter wheat is a relatively new crop. Winter durum wheat has to be improved for winter conditions by developing the level of seeds production and seeds quality. This problem can be solved by the production of new varieties and at the same time by means of new technological elements of cultivation. The general methods of study accomplished within the facilities of the Department of Plant Technology and Experimental Didactic Station of State Agrarian University of Moldova have revealed a positive influence of the sowing term and optimal plant density upon the level of seeds production and quality at different varieties of winter durum wheat. Acceptable sowing term and plant density are considered as the most efficient conditions for winter durum wheat productivity in unfavorable years of cultivation.
