Abstract:
The paper presents the data on the productivity of winter cereals depending on the preceding plant, sown in optimal time with a density of 5.0 million germinating kernels per hectare during a period of 4 years (2015-2018). It was established that the highest production was recorded for common winter wheat 4400 kg/ha, and the lowest for autumn barley 3560 kg/ha having as a forerunner peas for grains. On average per crop, the spring mixture vetch with oats as a forerunner decreased the grain production by 595 kg/ha (15.1%), and sunflower as a forerunner by 1040 kg/ha (26.3%).
