Abstract

Experience is held during the period 2009 – 2011, in crops of wheat variety Enola grown in conditions of organic farming with different seed rates: 100%; 100% + 25%; 100% + 50%; 100% + 75%. Yield of wheat does not differ dramatically in the four variants of the experience, which shows that it is not affected by the number of seeds sown. In incremental sowing rates observed reduction of weed and the invasion of leaf aphids, however, this does not give rise to significant yield.
