The influence of sowing time on the growth and development of winter crops in the autumn period

Abstract

This article considers the influence of sowing dates of winter crops on their growth and development during the autumn growing season. It is established that the shift of calendar dates of sowing significantly affects the morphological parameters of plants before the end of autumn vegetation. The significance of such differences is determined by weather conditions and biological characteristics of the variety and species. The shift of sowing dates towards the early ones causes an increase in the number of shoots, plant height, number of nodal roots and mass of raw above-ground mass. During sowing in October, the plants lag far behind both in stage development and in the parameters of phytometric parameters
