| Abstract | Objective. Comprehensive analysis of the agroecological characteristics of hull-less spring barley. Methods. The study used methods of system analysis, comparative agroecological monitoring, expert assessment of impacts, and statistical data analysis. Results. Modern agricultural crop cultivation technologies are characterized by increased attention to the plant itself as a biological production agent. They should be based on deep knowledge of the plant organism and its biological features, the processes of forming the main productivity components, the influence of external environmental conditions, and agrotechnical and agrochemical factors. It is considered that half of the yield increase of cereal crops is achieved by creating optimal plant nutrition conditions through fertilizer application, while the other half comes from improving other technology components, varieties, etc. Fertilizers are crucial for maintaining and enhancing soil fertility. When fertilizers are applied in crop rotation fields according to a justified system, with a balanced or positive nutrient status and strict adherence to all technological operation requirements, soil fertility increases, and a stable yield improvement of crops is observed. Conclusions. A significant portion of spring barley cultivation is concentrated in the steppe and forest-steppe regions, which are characterized by insufficient and unstable moisture and high temperatures during vegetation, usually significantly reducing grain yield and quality. Among the factors determining spring barley productivity, optimal mineral nutrition supply and variety are important. This requires studying their combined effect as well as the impact of each factor separately on yield and grain quality, and improving the stability of these indicators in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. This defines the relevance of conducting scientific research and has both scientific and practical interest. Over the past decades, due to violations of agricultural practices in the agrarian production system, the state of agroecosystems in Ukraine has undergone significant negative changes, leading to degradation and depletion of soil resources. Intensive crop cultivation technologies under a negative nutrient balance further deplete soil resources. | ||
