dc.description.abstractThe nitrogen fertilisation used and the wheat cultivar significantly affect grain quality, determining its suitability for use in malting and brewing. Nitrogen fertilisation at a dose of 60 and 80 kg N.ha-1 used in 3-year field experiments had a positive effect on total protein content (10.6% dry matter and 11.2% dry matter, respectively), grain uniformity (84.8% and 85.9%, respectively) and germination capacity (94.8% and 95.1%, respectively). The average grain moisture content at harvest was 13.8%, while the bulk density of the grain was 68.4 kg.hl-1. In canopy experiments, the average total protein content in wheat grain was 12.18% dry matter, germination capacity was 92.75%, and average grain uniformity was 75.45%. Based on the results obtained in field and canopy experiments, a nitrogen fertiliser dose of 60 and 80 kg N.ha-1 and the Elixer, Gimantis and Rockefeller varieties are recommended for the production of winter wheat for malting and brewing purposes.
