RESEARCH OF THE INFLUENCE OF AGROPHYTOTEHNICAL WORKS ON RAPESEED YIELD PARAMETERS

Abstract

Agriculture is facing great challenges, climate changes and its impact represents a worldwide growing risk factor on agricultural production and food security. In the context of current agriculture problems, the aim of this study is to identify the optimal tillage system that leads to obtaining high rapeseed yields. The study followed the influence of two different soil tillage systems applied in pedoclimatic conditions of two locations from Mureș County, located in the Central North Region of Romania, over a period of two years. Also the study aimed to present the evolution of plant yield parameters for each tillage system and each location during the period 2022 -2023. The interaction of pedoclimatic conditions resulted in a yield of 3977.50 kg/ha in 2022 and 4497.50 kg/ha in 2023. The data obtained show us that the best rapeseed yield results were obtained in minimum tillage system, with significant differences by the experimental year and location and very significant differences by the tillage system applied. The rapeseed production was very significantly influenced by the interaction between soil tillage system and location and significantly influenced by the interaction between location and applied tillage system.
