Biological and biodynamic cultivation of wheat

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the influence of fertilization with organic and biodynamic preparations and their combined influence on the elements of grain yield under organic farming conditions. The experiment includes one variant of wheat treatment with biodynamic preparations 500 + preparation Fladen + preparation 501; one treatment with organic preparations: Heliosulphur + Free N; one combined variant between biodynamic and organic preparations and one control variant without treatment. The plant height, spike length, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, grain weight per spike indicators were recorded. The IBM SPSS Statistics software using the method of variational statistics and Student's test was used for evaluation was used to process the obtained results. It was found that the variants treated with organic preparations have the highest level of evidence of differences compared to the control with 2.67 number of spikelets per spike, 7.59 number of grains per spike and 0.37 grain weight per spike (g) at P < 0.05. The methods of biodynamic and organic cultivation of soft wheat without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticide can be successfully applied by farmers on soil type calcic chernozem.
