In recent years, biotic and biotic stress have caused yield increases in winter wheat to be smaller than expected. Therefore, besides breeding new resistant or tolerant cultivars, the cultivation system gets into the focus of optimization.Traditionally, winter wheat is sown in drill seed, so that individual plants have high comptetion within a row but little competition between rows. Alternativ cropping system such as the uniform sowing system were proposed in the past, but were not implemented due to technical limitations.In this project, a prototype of a uniform sowing machine for winter wheat will be optimized and tested for a diverse winter wheat collection. The aim is to find out which advantages the uniform sowing system offers and to find winter wheat cultivars that react particularly positively to the new cultivation system.
