The Influence of Agroforestry Curtains on the Production of Autumn Cereals, in the Climatic Changes Conditions from Braila Plain, Romania
Abstract:
Under the current climate changes in the Braila Plain, Romania, with soil drought and increased scorching during spring, the most suitable crops are autumn straw cereals, which efficiently capitalize on winter moisture. The paper presents the experimental results obtained in demonstration plots of wheat, barley and triticale un der the pedoclimatic conditions of the Braila Plain, Romania, in the years 2023 and 2024, and the influence of agroforestry curtains on them. The pedoclimatic conditions of the two agricultural years, 2022 – 2023 and 2023 – 2024, the agrochemical soil analyses, the biometrics of the wheat, barley and triticale genotypes, as well as the productions obtained are presented. The statistical processing of the experimental data was carried out using the ANOVA and correlation tests, in order to make recommendations for farmers in the area of interest.These results were possible through the implementation of the research project ADER 1.2.2., entitled "Establishment of agroforestry curtains and the study of their influence on the anti-erosion protection and evapotranspiration of agricultural crops", which is being implemented between 2023 and 2026, being funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Bucharest, Romania.
