Abstract

The economic efficiency of winter wheat production with regard to nitrogen (N) fertilisation was studied on the results of experiment with the fertilisation of winter wheat variety Žitarka. In the experiment it was found out how different fertilisation treatments of N sidedressing (different total quantity, number of side dressing and the target value at the frst side dressing) affect the yield quantity and the parameters of wheat quality. Economic analysis was used to establish the fact that different fertilisation treatments of wheat with N influenced significantly the economics of wheat production. Economically the most efficient side dressing in the studied conditions was that with the total side dressing up to 210 kg N/ ha – Nmin applied in three rates, and that with the target value of 120 kg N/ha at the first side dressing.
