Economic productivity of spelt on degraded land

Abstract

In the last forty years, about 30% of agricultural land has undergone degrading processes, especially in developed countries. Attempts are being made to repair or recultivate degraded soils, but the results in the world and in our country are mostly symbolic. The paper presents the results of testing the productivity of alternative cereals grown on degraded land at locality u Ilandza in 2020-21. The experiment was set up according to a random block system in four replications. The subject of research is the spelled Nirvana variety. Spelt, variety Nirvana was tested using standard agricultural techniques. During the vegetation period of plants, the most important morphologically productive parameters were monitored. The year 2020 was more favorable compared to 2021 for all examined parameters. The average values for the length of the classes were 8.5 cm. Average the length of the spikes was 8.5 cm. Values for plant height ranged from 148 cm (2021) to 158 cm (2020) while values for 100 g mass ranged from 46.73 g (2021) to 45.3 g (2020). In addition to the applied cultivation technology, climatic conditions are of great importance for spelled productivity
