WHEAT CULTIVARS WITH AGROECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT IN THE WEST OF PARANÁ STATE.

The agroecological wheat crop in western Paraná is an excellent option for crop rotation, contributing to the quality of the no-tillage system. In this way, the present study aimed to evaluate the agronomic characteristics, the productivity of six wheat cultivars in the agricultural year 2021 cultivated in the West of Paraná in an agroecological system. The experiment was carried out between June and September 2021. Six genotypes were used: TBIO Audaz, TBIO Toruk, BRS Belajoia, ORS Madrepérola, ORS 1403 and UTF 18. The cycle of these cultivars is early to medium. Crop management was carried out in the agroecological system. For fertilization, 8 t ha-1 of chicken litter and the super-lean fertilizer were used. During the maturation period, the production components and grain yield were determined. As a result, it was found that during the crop cycle there was a water deficit which compromised the development of the crop. The highest hectoliter weight was found in the cultivar BRS Belajoia (77.7). In the present work, no cultivar reached the hectoliter weight to be classified as type 1. The highest hectoliter weight was found in the cultivar BRS Belajoia (77.7); however, in the present work, no cultivar reached the hectoliter weight to be classified as type 1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
