“…Early sowing of winter poppy resulted in the first experimental year in much higher soil coverage compared to values reported for winter faba bean, winter pea, winter triticale and winter wheat at the same location, but all these crops also attained soil coverage >90% at about the same time (end of April) as winter poppy [5,7,8]. Fast coverage by plants is important for radiation interception and soil protection against erosion processes [24].…”

“…Autumn-sowing may result in higher yields under Pannonian climate conditions in Central Europe, as much more time is available for the formation of yield components as shown for facultative wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [5,6] and facultative triticale (×Triticosecale Witt.) [7]. Autumnsowing of winter forms of the traditional spring crops faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.) also resulted in higher yields and higher nitrogen uptake [8][9][10][11].…”

Poppy cultivation has a long tradition in Central Europe. Growing winter poppy instead of the commonly grown spring poppy might increase seed yield, especially in the face of changing climatic conditions. However, knowledge regarding optimum sowing date and optimum sowing rate for winter poppy under Pannonian climate conditions in Central Europe is missing. Therefore, a two-year field experiment was performed in Eastern Austria with four sowing dates ranging from early September to mid/end of October and two sowing rates with 50 or 100 mg seeds m−2. Seed yields were considerably higher than values reported for spring poppy throughout all sowing dates, mainly due to a higher number of seeds capsule−1 and, thereby, a higher seed yield capsule−1. The highest seed yields were obtained by sowing in early October, while the earliest and especially the latest sowing date resulted in lower seed yields. Consequently, the optimum sowing date for winter poppy under Pannonian climate conditions in Central Europe is early October but sowing can be performed over a wider range of dates. No seed yield differences were observed between sowing rates. Consequently, the sowing rate can be much lower than the recommended sowing rate for spring poppy.

“…Autumnsowing of faba bean, which is widely carried out in France and the United Kingdom [4], could be an alternative to the common spring-sowing of faba bean in Central Europe to minimize negative heat and drought effects. Under Central European climate conditions, autumn-sown crops flower earlier, growth stages for yield formation last longer and yields are higher when compared to spring-sown crops, as shown for facultative wheat [5,6] and facultative triticale [7]. Also, autumn-sowing of winter forms of the traditional spring crops faba bean and pea have resulted in higher yields and higher nitrogen (N) uptake than spring-sowing [8][9][10][11].…”

Faba bean (Vicia faba L. minor) is an important grain legume and is widely used as food and feed. It is traditionally used as a spring crop in Central European cropping systems. There is increasing interest in winter faba bean due to a higher yield potential, but limited knowledge of nitrogen (N) yields and nitrogen fixation (NFIX) exists. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare N concentrations, N yield of plant fractions, soil mineral N (SMN) and SMN sparing in the soil after harvest, NFIX and N balance of two winter faba bean varieties (Diva and Hiverna) to those of a spring faba bean (Alexia) using two seeding rates (25 versus 50 germinable seeds m−2) in a two-year field experiment under Pannonian climate conditions in eastern Austria. The winter faba bean varieties had higher N yields and NFIX, not only due to higher biomass yields, but also due to higher N concentrations and a higher percentage of N derived from atmosphere in the biomass. Conversely, the soil mineral N after harvest was lower compared to the spring faba bean. All treatments had a negative N balance due to higher grain N yield than NFIX. Winter faba beans left higher amounts of biologically-fixed N in residues for the subsequent crop, whereas spring faba bean left more SMN. Winter faba bean varieties obtained good results with both seeding rates, whereas the grain yield and the grain N yield of Alexia tended to higher with the higher seeding rate.

Purpose. Identification of adaptive capabilities of modern varieties of winter triticale at the first stages of organogenesis of the crop in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. Methods. General scientific: hypothesis, experiment, observation and analysis, field and laboratory research, mathematical and statistical data analysis. Results. The search for the alternative to modern intensive winter triticale cultivation technologies, focused on the maximum use of adaptive capabilities of plants to natural and man-made changes, was conducted. It has been established that the cumulative negative impact of natural and man-made factors is formed long before the sowing of winter triticale. The necessity of their minimization through the application of modern technologies of maximum adaptation of the plant organism to them has been determined. It has been established that the adaptive ability of winter triticale varieties to natural environmental conditions and man-made risks caused by deep changes in the agrocenoses of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe is manifested already at the first stages of organogenesis of the crop during the autumn vegetation period, which is important for increasing the winter hardiness of plants. The highest level of such adaptability was observed in the Bozhich variety, which prevailed over the Bogodarske and Desyatynne varieties in terms of carbohydrate content in the tiller node by 1.9% and 3.97%, respectively; by the level of overwintering of plants – by 5.6% and 8.4%, respectively. The importance of the variety as a factor of the adaptive technology of growing winter triticale in modern conditions of climate change has been proven. Conclusions. The conducted studies confirm that the optimal selection of the variety allows to significantly improve the starting capabilities of winter triticale plants before their entry into winter and is an important component of the adaptive crop cultivation technologies formation in conditions of modern natural and man-made risks in agrocenoses of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.
