Abstract

One of the problems with producing winter wheat is the use of phytosaniatry products to guarantee high and steady winter wheat yields. Over the course of two years (2021-2022), field tests were carried out at the Federal Research Center Nemchinovka in Russia's Central Non-Black Earth area. With respect to intensity levels, such as basic, intense, and high intensity; this study sought to assess the impact of various phytosanitary agents on the productivity and quality of winter wheat types. Treatments comprised various mixtures and doses of fertilizers, pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides), and growth regulators. Winter wheat varieties Nemchinovskaya 85, Moskovskaya 40, and Moskovskaya 27 have all been researched. Insecticides (Picus 1.0 l/t, Danadim Power 0.6 l/ha, Picus 1.0 l/t + Danadim Power 0.6 l/ha, Picus 1.0 l/t + Vantex 60 ml/ha, Picus 1.0 l/t + Vincite forte 1.5 l/t, and Picus 0.7 l/t + Vantex 50 ml/ha) and fungicides (Impact Exclusive Moskovskaya 27 increased its output from 0.64 to 3.62 t/ha, Moskovskaya 40 from 0.71 to 3.21 t/ha, and Nemchinovskaya 85 from 1.14 to 3.10 t/ha). Results might be used to create winter wheat farming techniques that increase yields and improve grain quality.

Key words: Winter wheat, grain yield, phytosanitary products, wheat productivity, wheat varieties, non-chernozem zone.
