Effect of Climate Change and Fertilizers on Grain Yield and Quality in the Northern Part of European Russia

Abstract
The effect of air temperature increase and precipitation fluctuations on the yield and protein content of spring wheat grain was evaluated using the example of a long-term field experiment of Falenskaya breeding station (Kirov oblast) established in 1971. In Kirov oblast, lying on the northern border of the agricultural zone at the humidified area, air temperature increased at a rate of 0.39°C/10 years in 1971–2020, less intensively than in other regions of the country. Despite the intermittent series of yield data, we have assessed the influence of weather conditions of the growing season on it, positive correlations with precipitation in June and a negative one—with the air temperature in this month were noted. According to the regression analysis, climatic conditions were responsible for 49–74% of the yield variance. Liming of sod-podzolic soils and fertilization allowed not only increasing the crop productivity by 30–50% also decreasing of its dispersion caused by changing weather conditions by 7–10%. The protein content of the grain was also determined to a greater extent by fertilizer application and was negatively affected by both higher temperatures and increased rainfall during the ripening period. The case of the Falenskaya breeding station confirms the leading role of the anthropogenic factor in maintaining and increasing yields and preserving grain quality against the background of current climate warming at the northern border of the farming zone.
