Productivity of spring barley when using retardants of various mechanisms of action in the conditions of the CRNZ of the Russian Federation
in arid conditions of the growing season, the use of growth regulators of the retardant type Moddus, CE and Hardy, P on barley crops reduces the lodging of plants and reduces the yield of spring barley. When treating seeds with Moddus, CE, the most intense shortening of the first and second internodes was noted (24 and 7%, respectively), while the diameter of the stem of the 2nd internode increased slightly compared to the control variant. Seed treatment with Moddus, CE reduced lodging by 3%, and treatment in the DC phase 0 (seed treatment)+DC 25-29 (mid-end tillering phase) proved to be ineffective, where the lodging of plants increased the lodging on the control variant.The treatment of seeds with Hardy, P at a dose of 50 ml / t, as well as the treatment of plants at a dose of 300 ml / ha more intensively affected the length of the second internode, reducing it by 22% and 3%, respectively, relative to the control. When processing Hardy plants, P lodging decreased by 12%, while when processing plants with Moddus, CE by only 5%. In conditions of lack of moisture during the growing season, the use of retardants led to a decrease in the yield of barley grain by 7 - 39%. A minimal decrease of 0.3 t/ha was observed in the variant with the treatment of seeds and plants with Hardy, P at a dose of 100 ml/t+300 ml/ha.
