Eight different soil tillage systems (TS) for winter wheat after soybean crop production were compared at the chernozem type in Croatian Baranya region a 4-year period (2001/2002, 2002/2003, 2003/2004, 2004/2005). Tillage were: CT) conventional tillage, based on autumn mouldboard ploughing; DH) disc harrowing; CH) harrowing + chiselling; NT) No-tillage; CSDW) DH wheat, alternated with CT previous soybean; CWDS) CsNw) NT and CwNs) soybean. The dry conditions experienced 2002/2003 decreased...
A stationary field experiment of a reduced soil tillage was implemented at Hypogley (Hypogleyic soils A–Gso–Gr horizon sequence) type Eastern Croatia during three seasons and set up as split-plot randomized block design in four repetitions. The systems (TS) were follows: 1) conventional tillage, i.e., plowing 30 cm (CT), 2) disking 10-12 (DT), 3) loosening to 35 (LT), 4) no-tillage (NT). designed compare the penetration resistance (PR), moisture (SM), bulk density (BD) different TSs depths....
Research was carried out on mountain Kopaonik, two associations Danthonietum calycinae (1000 and 1500 m above sea level), in the period from year 2003 to 2004. Production of grassland depending fertilization (1. no fertilization, 2. N60P30K30, 3. N80P30K30, 4. N100P30K30), cutting schedule (I forming panicles, II beginning spike III full forming) monitored. floristic composition demonstrated dynamic changes year, applied treatments. The greatest production dry mass crude proteins both...
Eight different tillage systems were compared in soybean production on one experimental field (chernozem) located the Baranya region of Croatia over a 4-year period (2001/2002, 2002/2003, 2003/2004, 2004/2005). The dry conditions experienced 2003 exacerbated effects NT and CWNS yield. most stable grain yield was obtained using CSNW CSDW all four years. DH, CH CWDS did not result any significant reduction crop to CT. There no clear trend regarding applied components. greatest components due...

The winter barley crop production is not adequately researched regarding soil tillage systems, especially in rotation with the soybean, both crops gaining importance as food for animals. research at experimental site Boksic (Croatia), during years 2005 and 2006, showed no difference yields from conventional tillage, based on mouldboard ploughing, reduced diskharrowing, each of six nitrogen fertilization levels (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 150 kg N ha-1). Regarding fertilization, yield increase was...
The aim of this study was to analyze the yield components winter oilseed rape depending on plant population in 2017/2018 growing season. Three populatios were considered study: 20, 40 and 60 plants m-2. At harvest several determined: height (cm), mass (g), first fertile branch number lateral branches, pods per plant, length pod seeds pod, 1000 grain (g) (g). m-2 highest (153.4 cm), with (295.3 g) branches (5.6 plant). Furthermore, from had (716 pieces), longest (6.5 cm) largest (21.0) (15...
The trial with different side-dressing fertilizations for winter wheat has been conducted at Vetovo site, Croatia, in vegetation seasons 2007/08 and 2008/09. five tested (Control - no sidedressing, KAN 100 kg ha-1 tillering jointing stages; M1 8 l of foliar NPK fertilizer 'Profert Mara' ha-1; M2 16 fertilizer, and; M3 24 fertilizer) four cultivars (Anika, Fiesta, Gabi Rapsodija), previously applied 400 7:20:30 all treatments. Results showed that treatments gave grain yield higher than the...
A multidisciplinary field experiment was performed during three seasons for winter wheat in Croatia. The intention of this study to examine and diagnose the effect Tillage Systems (TS) on soil chemical properties (soil acidity, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter content) as well outcome economic indicators such Gross Margin (GM), Rate Profitability (ROP), cost-effectiveness (E) productivity (P). TS were CT - plowing up 30 cm depth; DT disking 8-12 LT loosening 35 NT no-tillage....
Garlic is valuable crop that used not only for human consumption, but also in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries. Indigenous cultivars have specific beneficial properties could be permanently lost due to cultivation of new cultivars. Aim this study was established two indigenous garlic vitro under influence growth regulator light. varieties Slavonian winter (Croatia) Vincek (Slovenia) were introduced on medium supplemented with different concentrations BAP (1 1,5 mg/L) grown types...
After harvesting of wheat the great surfaces land remain unused although they are suitable both for growing forage crops and production voluminous animal feeds. The greatest importance in system feeds is attributed to annual leguminous grasses species which can be grown either as clear or mixtures. Their conditioned by irrigation since time seeding temperatures rather high precipitations uncertain. In that sense this research has been conducted productivity sorghum soybean after crop sowing...
In order to examine the influence of cultivars and estimate how mulching plant covering with agrotextile affects content P, Ca, K, Mg Mn in lettuce leaves this three-year experiment has been established. experiment, black white plastic foil were used for prior planting, after planting. The effect each them as well their combination on nutrients yield was examined. There six treatments experiment: control, foil, agrotextile, agrotextile. Mulching had a significant impact yield, experiment....
Stationary field experiment pertaining to the winter wheat in Croatia was performed during three seasons. This study’s intention examine and diagnose effect of tillage systems (TS) on soil chemical properties (soil acidity, phosphorus [P], potassium [K], organic matter content). The TSs were as follows: CT — ploughing up 30 cm depth, DT disking 8-12 LT loosening 35 NT no-tillage. experimental design a randomised block four repetitions, which basic TS plot amounted 540 m2. Soil sampling for...
During three years (2007, 2008 and 2009), multidisciplinary stationary research of reduced soil tillage nitrogen fertilization was conducted for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], on Gley type Croatian Baranya region. Research carried out with four treatments level, set up as split-plot design in repetitions. Tillage (TT) were: CT- conventional (autumn plowing 30 cm), DT- multiple disk-harrowing 10-12 LT- chiselling loosening NT- no-tillage. Nitrogen treatment (NF) NF-1 = 35, NF-2 70, NF-3...
