Abstract

Optimizing winter triticale farming technology involves applying agricultural techniques and practices that maximize crop productivity and quality while reducing costs and environmental impact. The research hypothesis was based on the premise that by applying appropriate fertilization and weed control can improve winter triticale production, evaluating for this purpose both soil characteristics, the degree of weediness and winter triticale production. To establish the influence of experimental factors (fertilizer doses: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, climatic conditions and herbicides) on winter triticale yield, production and the presence of weeds, a poly-factorial experience was organized on a Typical Luvosol in the Lăpuș Depression, Romania. The experiment was conducted over a period of two years (2022 and 2023), where a variety of winter triticale was studied on four levels of NPK fertilization. At the same time, climatic conditions were registered during the two years. On the level of fertilization with N170 and P130 the plants have fallen, and production was compromised, especially since there were high amounts of precipitations and gusts of wind recorded.
