Abstract:
【Objective】 To study the effects of uniform sowing on population structure and yield of late sowing winter wheat in northern Xinjiang, and to provide basis for reasonable dense planting of late sowing wheat in the region.
【Methods】 Delayed sowing time (sowing date was October 26, witha delay of 16~ 38 d) was used to analyze the effects of late sowingand uniform sowing on the population structue and yield of winter wheat during the appropriate sowing period of winter wheat (September 20~ 30), and differe nt planting densities were set up in the field:525×10
4 grains/hm
2(D
1, the conventional sowing density of the field),600×10
4 grains/hm
2 (D
2), 675×10
4 grains/hm
2(D
3), 750×10
4 grains/hm
2(D
4),825×10
4 grains/hm
2(D
5), and 900×10
4 grains/hm
2(D
6), to compare the population structure of late sowing winter wheat with different planting densities.
【Results】 Under late sowing conditions, with the increase of planting density, the number of stems and tillers increased, with the D
1 treatment having the highest tiller success rate of 46.08%, which was higher than the other treatments by 2. 01%, 8. 94%, 29. 58%, 43. 02%, and 44. 63%, in that order;Plant height increased with increasing density, and all D
1 treatments differed significantly from D
5 and D
6 treatments, and basalinternode 1 and internode 2 coarseness gradually decreased; the difference betweenD
1 treatment and D
5 and D
6 treatment was significant,With D
3 treatment (6.75 million grains /hm
2), the leaf area of each leaf layer at flowering stage reached the maximumvalue (27.58 cm
2, 25.75 cm
2, 18.45 cm
2),andthe leaf area index LAI also reached the maximum value (6.93), and the light transmission from floweringstage to wax ripening stage decreased the least among all treatments. The maximum yield was 8,908.47kg/hm
2 under D
5 treatment,and the minimum yield was 7,320.47 kg/hm
2 under D
1 treatment.
【Conclusion】 Under the condition of late sowing, the planting density of 675 × 10
4 grains/hm
2 has better population structure, while 825 × 10
4 grains/hm
2 is more capable of obtaining high yield,and 675 × 10
4 ~ 825× 10
4 grains/hm
2 is more suitable for late sowing of winter wheat even sowing planting density.
