The article presents the results of studies of direct sowing of winter wheat after corn for grain on the chernozem of the Balti steppe of the Republic of Moldova. Over the years of research. The yield of winter wheat varied from 3.62 t/ha to 4.72 t/ha. In the control without fertilizers the yield over the years was from 1.72 t/ha to 2.02 t/ha and decreased by more than twice compared to the fertilized variants. In direct sowing an increased debris of winter wheat was observed, which implies the necessity of the obligatory use of herbicides to suppress weeds.
