Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at 2 locations (Miecze and Osobne) in Poland during 2001-02 and 2002-03 on a good wheat soil complex. The studied factors were: 3 nitrogen levels (80=40+30+10, 120=60+40+20, and 160=60+60+40 kg N ha SUP -1 ) and 4 winter wheat cultivars (Kobra, Korweta, Sakwa and Zyta). The nitrogen levels were applied at the following phases: beginning of vegetation, shooting in stalk and earing. The following traits were estimated: grain yield, weight of 1000 grains, test weight, falling number by Hagberg-Perten method, gluten content, gluten weakening, Zeleny test of flour sedimentation and farinographic traits, water absorption of flour, dough resistance, dough weakening and valorimeter value. The effect of increased nitrogen level from 80 to 160 kg/ha was different at the 2 locations. In Miecze there was no yield increase and in Osobne the average increase of yield amounted to 0.57 t ha SUP -1 . The effect of fertilizer application on the size and filling of the grain as well as resistance to sprouting was insignificant or very low. The application of an increased nitrogen level caused an increase in the other quality traits. Only for gluten weakening there was no significant difference. The reaction of cultivars was similar in the years of the experiment and locations. Zyta and Korweta had a better grain quality than Kobra and Sakwa
