EFFECT OF MINERAL FERTILIZATION ON EXTENSIGRAPH PROPERTIES OF WINTER WHEAT IN 2006

In our study we have examined the effect of mineral fertilization on the extensigraph characteristics of wheat-flours. The baking quality of winter wheat is largely determined by variety, but it can be influenced by fertilization. Floors were from 3 varieties grown at six nitrogen fertilizer. The average gluten content of varieties was very different (30.4, 35.8, and 41.7%, respectively). We have found that the extensigraph properties of dough are affected by mineral fertilization, nevertheless, different varieties distinctly react to the increase of the proportions of fertilizer. Based on our investigations, we have come to the conclusion that the application of higher doses of nitrogen fertilizer did not improve the rheological properties of dough samples beyond a certain level.
