Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine how to establish high and stable yields of winter rye under the impact of highly varying seeding densities and delayed sowing date. A field trial with three winter rye cultivars (two population cultivars and one F1 hybrid) was conducted on a sandy site over a period of three years. The results showed that seeding density, cultivar choice, and annual weather conditions are important factors impacting the yield variability of winter rye. Higher seeding densities led to higher and slightly more stable yields of winter rye. Moreover, a cultivar-adapted seeding date seemed to exploit yield potential advantageously. Interestingly, all three cultivars showed better yield stability with a two-week delay in seeding date. This study suggests that cultivar choice and management practices such as modulation of seeding date and seeding density play an important role in improving the grain yield and yield stability of winter rye.
