Influence of weather conditions of the year and variety features on nitrogen consumption and formation of winter wheat grain quality

Influence of weather conditions of the year and variety features on nitrogen consumption and formation of winter wheat grain quality The article discusses the influence of two factors on the quality of winter wheat grain – the characteristics of the variety and weather conditions of the year. Varietal differences in the nitrogen supply to winter wheat grains were studied. A greater influence of the genetic characteristics of winter wheat varieties than weather conditions on the accumulation of nitrogen in wheat grain was revealed. The dependence of high quality wheat grain on arid weather conditions were confirmed. Varieties such as Arctis and Panonicus have shown more stable indicators of nitrogen content, so the grain of these varieties is the most conditioned.
