YIELDS AND SELECTED QUALITY PARAMETERS OF WINTER WHEAT (TRITICUM ESTIVUM L.) IN ORGANIC CROPPING SYSTEM AS AFFECTED BY FORECROPS IN THE YEARS 2006-2008

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate yields and selected qualitative parameters of winter wheat cultivated after three different forecrops in the years 2006-2008. Stationary field experiment was established on a loamy luvi-haplic chernozem in a maize–barley growing region in South - Western Slovakia. The tested variety Bardotka is known as a variety with good content of gluten and high values of sedimentation test. The weather conditions statistically modified qualitative parameters of winter wheat grain (crude protein, wet gluten, fall number, sedimentation test, ** P
