“…It was significantly the lowest in 2017 (26.3). The process of photosynthesis is influenced by key factors such as nutritional, tillage and meteorological conditions [44][45]. In our experiment, the meteorological conditions had significant impact, but interaction between factors A and B was non-significant.…”

At the time of tillage, properties of the soil change, thereby changing the conditions of crop development and ultimately their productivity and quality. The effect of non-inversion tillage or no till on faba bean development is stills not widely investigated. For this reason, investigations of tillage systems from deep and shallow ploughing, chiselling, disking to no tillage were tested in Vytautas Magnus University, Agriculture Academy, Lithuania. The results showed that different tillage methods had less influence on faba bean development than meteorological conditions during the growing seasons. Soil chiselling generally showed better faba bean canopy development rates than other treatments. Faba bean roots developed somewhat better in not tilled plots. Vegetative conditions had a significant influence on faba bean development indicators. The effects of vegetative conditions during all four years of the experimentation were significantly different from each other. This shows that, due to rapid climate change, the conditions of each vegetative season become unique and require precise attention.

“…Nutrient (especially N) losses from fertilizers applied before sowing are known to be substantially higher in winter compared with spring crops, and this makes it difficult to obtain grain protein contents required for bread-making quality in organic winter wheat production, where spring applications of mineral N-fertilizers (which are widely used in conventional wheat production) are not permitted [3,7,37]. As a result, winter and spring wheat crops have contrasting (i) climatic background conditions, (ii) nutrient availability, and (iii) shoot and root growth patterns during the growing season, especially between crop emergence and tillering [37,[41][42][43]. This also partially explains differences in (i) disease and pest pressure/incidence and (ii) crop responses to agronomic parameters (e.g., tillage and fertilization) between winter and spring wheat crops [37,[41][42][43].…”

Organic wheat production systems have lower yields compared with intensive conventional production and often do not achieve the grain protein content and quality thresholds set by millers and bakers. In contrast, organic production methods were reported to result in higher concentrations of nutritionally desirable micronutrients and lower concentrations of the toxic metal Cd in wheat grain and wholegrain flour. However, although N-availability and variety characteristics are known to affect both gain yields and bread-making quality, the exact reasons for the yield gap and differences in grain processing and nutritional quality between organic and conventional spring wheat production in the UK are poorly understood. The overall aim of this study was therefore to determine to what extent changes in variety choice and fertilization regimes may reduce the yield gap and improve processing quality without affecting nutritional quality in organic spring wheat production. To achieve this aim, we compared crop health, yield, grain processing, and nutritional quality parameters in spring wheat produced using (i) six contrasting spring wheat varieties grown with a standard fertilization regime and (ii) one variety widely used by organic farmers (Paragon) with nine different fertilization regimes in (iii) three UK sites/farms with contrasting pedoclimatic conditions. Significant differences in foliar disease severity, grain yield, and quality parameters were detected between six contrasting spring wheat varieties when grown under organic management regimes. Specifically, the varieties Paragon and Tybalt were identified as the best-performing varieties with respect to foliar disease resistance and grain yield under organic farming conditions and also produced high processing and nutritional quality across the three UK sites. However, the highest grain yields were obtained by Paragon at the Gilchester site and Tybalt at the Sheepdrove and Courtyard sites, while the highest protein contents were produced by Tybalt at the Gilchester site and Paragon at the Sheepdrove and Courtyard sites, which suggests that there is a need for site-specific wheat variety selection in the UK organic sector. Although organic fertilizer input type and level also affected wheat performance, differences between fertilization regimes were smaller than those observed between the five contrasting varieties, which suggests that improvements in spring wheat breeding/selection have a greater potential for increasing crop yield and quality in the organic sector compared with changes to fertilization practices. Overall, results suggest it is feasible to breed/select spring wheat varieties that combine high protein, vitamin E, and micronutrients with low toxic metal (Cd, Pb) concentrations when produced under organic farming conditions. These findings also support the hypothesis that differences in variety choice by organic and conventional farmers have contributed to the differences in nutritional quality between organic and conventional wheat products reported in previous studies.

“…The content and quality of crude protein in the grains of tested varieties were determined at the Research Laboratory of Phytosanitary Diagnostics and Forecasts of Novosibirsk State Agrarian University (NSAU). The harmfulness of wheat stem sawflies (Cephus pygmaeus) in relation to different varieties was assessed by the level of weight reduction of 1000 grains from ears damaged by the pests in comparison with the weight of grains obtained by threshing intact ears (Janusauskaite et al, 2022).…”

The article is devoted to the study of spring wheat varieties cultivated in the steppe area of North-Eastern Kazakhstan and their resistance to the main pests. The dynamics of the number and phenology of spring wheat phytophages were investigated in relation to the varietal and climatic characteristics of agricultural production. Modern spring wheat varieties' resistance to the main pests was evaluated in the area of study for the first time. In the course of studying the harmfulness of pest complexes for the studied varieties, three-point mobile scales were used for the first time. They made it possible to identify patterns of varieties damage according to different pest numbers. Reliable differences of nine varieties with respect to the uptake of spring wheat by major pests, as well as their harmfulness, were established. 'Triso', 'Likamero', and 'Kurier' varieties with group resistance to them were identified. An economic evaluation of resistant spring wheat varieties was provided. The study used a three-point evaluation method with moving score limits to identify spring wheat varieties that were settled and damaged by pests. It enables the estimation of varieties with different background densities of insects and the comparison of data from different soil-climatic zones. The analysis of the obtained results confirms the high economic efficiency of pest-resistant varieties cultivation and the role of these varieties in the phytosanitary stabilization of agrobiocenoses and environmental protection. The results of the research could be used in the zoning of spring wheat varieties. Identified cultivars with group-based pest resistance might be used as donors for new breeding varieties.
