Abstract

Although global production is sufficient to provide approximately 2,700 calories per day for every person, according to FAO data, over 850 million people worldwide suffer from hunger. Meanwhile, in certain parts of the world (for example, in developed EU countries), overproduction creates significant issues, disrupting agricultural markets and the supply-demand balance, paradoxically affecting the incomes of agricultural producers. This imbalance in global food supply is due to varying crop yields in different geopolitical regions, which are influenced by the performance of production technologies employed. Phytotechnics integrates fundamental and applied knowledge from biology, physiology, technology, economics, and management. Phytotechnical methods such as crop rotation, fertilization, soil tillage, sowing practices, crop care, and selecting high-quality biological material are employed to increase field crop production through cultivation techniques. These methods can be applied in plant production and depend primarily on the potential of the variety or hybrid and the quality of the seed material. Therefore, selecting suitable biological material and applying technological measures tailored to existing natural conditions through ecological zoning is essential to using genetic potential efficiently.
