Effectiveness of Mineral Fertilizers and Nitrogen Feed during the Growing Period of a New Winter Triticale Variety

In the field experiment, we studied the potential yield and the main quality indicators of a new variety of winter triticale grain of the Bilinda variety (selected by the Leningrad Research Institute of Agricultural Sciences), depending on the level of pre-sowing application of mineral fertilizers and nitrogen fertilizers during the growing season. It is shown that in the soil and climatic conditions of the Leningrad region, in order to obtain the maximum yield of winter triticale grain, it is necessary to focus on the double use of mineral fertilizers, combining their pre-sowing application with early spring nitrogen fertilization. To obtain winter triticale grain with a high protein content and suitable for feed use, along with the pre-sowing application of mineral fertilizers and early spring fertilizing, nitrogen must be introduced in the tubing phase.
