There is a limited information for the growing of winter cereals in mixed cropping system. Therefore, a field experiment in two growing seasons (2023/2024 and 2024/2025) was conducted. The trial was performed on the lands of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Variants of the experiment were: 1. Winter wheat - variety 'Sofru' (sole crop); 2. Winter wheat - variety 'Solindo' (sole crop); 3. Winter wheat - variety 'Sofru' + winter wheat - variety 'Solindo' (mixed crop); 4. Winter barley - variety 'Odyssey' (sole crop); 5. Winter barley - variety 'Odyssey' + winter wheat -
variety 'Sofru' (mixed crop); 6. Winter barley - variety 'Odyssey' + winter wheat - variety 'Solindo' (mixed crop); 7. Rye, variety 'Millennium' (sole crop). Differences were found in the height of the plants and the ear length, as well as the 1000 grain weight and the hectoliter mass of the seeds in mixed crops. The highest yield was recorded when the wheat variety 'Solindo' was sown alone. Regarding barley, a higher yield was recorded when it was grown together with the wheat variety 'Solindo'.
