dolomite, ears, grains, wheat, Ursita variety
Being necessary both for a normal plant physiology and for the improvement of acid soil properties, calcium (Ca2+) applied alone and together with magnesium (Mg2+) is permanently required in agricultural crops. Recent research has shown some positive effects of the two chemical elements in the case of the winter wheat crop. Thus, as an effect of dolomite, the height of the plants increased by 6-7 cm, and the straw thickened by 0.3 mm. The spike was 0.5 cm longer, formed 0.7 extra spikelets and was 0.1 g heavier. The spikelet membranes (glume, palea) fluctuated less in length, and the awns elongated slightly. In one spike, 0.3 extra grains were formed and weighed approx. 0.1 g. TGW experienced modest reductions against the backdrop of chemical fertilizers. The most favorable correlations were obtained between the morphological characters of the Ursita variety fertilized only with dolomite. The obtained results recommend the application of the amendment to the white clay soil existing in the South and to the winter wheat crop.
