The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of fertilization on the growth and development of Triticum monococcum L. A three-year field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural University - Plovdiv. A block method was used in four replications, with a plot area of 15 m2. The main factors of the study are: year (2018-2019; 2019-2020 and 2020-2021), and fertilization (Control - no fertilization; Italpolina - soil fertilizer, Naturamin WSP - foliar fertilizer). The phenological development of the crop was analyzed, as well as interphase periods. The growing season was 231 days in which they accumulated 1512.2°C effective temperature sums. Growth in height is highly dependent on the year. Plants reach sizes of 81.19 to 113.18 cm. The year has a strong influence on tillering - the most number of tillers per plant (4.4-4.6) develop in the second and third years. Italpolina - soil fertilizer has a better effect on this indicator. The influence of soil fertilizer is stronger compared to foliar fertilizer both on the number of productive tillers/plant and on the number of productive stems/m2.
