Abstract:
Research was performed in a polyfactorial experiment at I.N.C.D.A.
Fundulea between 2004 and 2006. Factor A (crop technology) had two
graduations, factor B(irrigation regime) 6 graduations, and factor C (grown
genotype) 3 graduations. The agricultural year 2004-2005 was excessively
rainy, as the total rainfalls amount was 1138.7, while 2005-2006 was marked
by drought, the total amount of yearly rainfalls was 494.5 mm, compared
with the multiannual mean of 584.4 mm.
From the viewpoint of temperature, 2004-2005 was normal, the
annual mean of 10.8ºC was close to the multiannual mean of temperatures
(10.6ºC), while 2005-2006 was almost normal, as the annual mean exceeded
the multiannual mean by only 1.2ºC. The paper presents the average results
of the two years of research.
In the bacterium-treated soybean crop, the rate of N40 on P60 resulted
in an insignificant yield increase, compared with the control.
Out of the irrigation variants, the highest increase (7.72 q/ha) was
recorded in the 50% IUA variant at a depth of 80 cm (dripping as half of the
standard), compared with the non-irrigated variant, which showed a highly
significant increase. Close values were also recorded in the 50% IUA
irrigation varianta t 80 cm in depth (spraying as full standard), i.e. 7.28 q/ha,
a statistically assured (highly significant) increase.
Also, highly significant increase was recorded in the 50% irrigation
variant at a depth of 80 cm (dripping 1/3 of the standard, i.e. 4.3 q/ha),
compared with the non-irrigated variant; also, in the 50% IUA irrigation
variant at a depth of 80 cm (sparying1/2 of the standard, i.e. 3.01 q/ha).
Aut of the tested genotypes, the highest production was recorded in
Triumf (6.13 q/ha), which was highly significant. Also, the Danubian variety
recorded a highly significant yield (4.71 q/ha), compared with the control
(Românesc 99).
Thus, under market economy conditions, the careful choice of the crop
technology may result in important resource economy, which leads to the
optimised expenses and successful crop yields, without overlooking
environmental protection.
