Effect of chicory seed sowing schemes on yield and quality

Abstract

Relevance. One of the main problems in cycovalry is getting friendly, aligned shoots with a given density of standing plants. In chicory agrotechnology, special attention should be paid to the high quality of seeding in order to ensure the rapid germination of seeds, their high germination and the early appearance of friendly, strong and aligned shoots. An important technique to achieve this goal is pre-seed preparation: etching from various pathogens, treatment of growth stimulants, etc. In the practice of growing many crops, seed dorins are used, and the shell includes the necessary substances.

Materials and methods. Thus, for chicory seed pelleting we used the following drugs: Maxim – a productor, acting on various types of pathogenic fungi, as a growth stimulant - biological fertilizer Isabion, and for the best seed germination – Agrogel, which strongly swells and delays the water needed for sprouts. The article presents the results of threeyear studies conducted at the Rostov Vegetable Experimental Station on Chicory, in which seeds were laid out by hand.

Results. At the same time, the laboratory and field germination of chicory seeds increases by 8.6% and 10.8%, respectively. Thanks to the seed pelleting, the technological properties of seeds are improved, looseness is acquired, which facilitates their use in the seedlings of accurate seeding. The task of the research was to determine the optimal number of seeds pelleting in the nest and the distance between plants and therefore the rate of seeding for yield and quality of harvest. The best yields are obtained in the variant with the layout of the draped seeds of three jelly beans with a step of 10 cm – 25.6 t/ha at a marketability of 90.6%.
