Abstract

 There are not many results of studies concerning the effect of autumn sowing date on the yield of spring cereal culti­vars. Due to the fact that meteorological conditions in winter have become milder, the sowing of spring varieties with increased frost resistance is possible in autumn. Spring varieties suitable for au­tumn sowing are known as alternative varieties. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of autumn sowing date on the productivity of selected spring varieties. A two-factor field exper­iment was established using a split-plot design at the Experimen­tal Station of Cultivar Testing in Czesławice (51°30′N 22°24′E), the Lubelskie voivodeship, Poland (2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011). Experimental factors were as follows: A) sowing date: I – October, II – November, III – spring, B) spring wheat cultivar: Tybalt, Cytra, Bombona, Monsun, Parabola. In the first year of the study, no effect of sowing date on spring wheat yields was found. In subsequent growing seasons, both autumn sowing dates had a positive effect on the yields of the tested spring wheat varieties. The selection of the cultivar did not affect the obtained yields.
