INFLUENCE OF SEED AND MINERAL FERTILIZER RATES ON PLANT DENSITIES OF CROTALARIA

Аннотация

This article discusses the effects of sowing rates and mineral fertilizer application rates on the seedling density of the unconventional leguminous crop, Crotalaria, grown under the typical gray soil conditions of the Tashkent region. It has been scientifically substantiated that increasing the sowing rate from 10 kg/ha to 18 kg/ha reduces plant mortality by 0.5-1.2%. Similarly, when the mineral fertilizer rates are increased from N60 P90 K60 kg/ha to N90 P135 K90 kg/ha, seedling survival improves by 0.1% to 0.3%. Further increasing the rates to N120 P180 K120 kg/ha enhances seedling survival by 0.3% to 0.6%.
