The protein content and falling numbers of five winter triticale cultivars were tested in very different weather conditions (1998/1999-2000/2001) on Stagnic Luvisol soils in the experimental fields of the Estonian Agricultural University. All cultivars were fertilised with nitrogen fertiliser (NH4NO3) in early spring, using a norm of 0-200 kg N ha sup(-1) (increasing the amonts of fertiliser by 20 kg ha sup(-1)). Fertilising with nitrogen after hibernation at the tillering stage in early spring increased the protein content of seeds averaged over years and cultivars by up to 1.57 per cent in dry matter. Protein levels depended most on the cultivar, less on the weather conditions of the growth year and least on the nitrogen fertiliser (the determination indices of a dispersion analysis were 0.35, 0.32 and 0.14, respectively). The yield and protein content were in negative correlation. Due to very different weather conditions during the growth period, the figures of the falling number were very different in different years
