The genetically determined quality of wheat may be maintained or spoiled by the cultivation technique applied. An analysis was made of the effect on yield quality of various techniques /irrigation, fertilization, application of herbicides and fungicides/. N fertilization consistently increased the gluten content of wheat. The results of the top dressing experiment confirmed that divided top dressing including a 40 kg N rate at flowering significantly increased both the wet gluten content and the farinographic value. The quality-improving effect of irrigation was somewhat ambiguous. The use of herbicides had contrasting effect depending on the preparation and the extent of weed cover. The best results with respect to gluten and protein contents were given by Oxitril treatment. Fungicides have a slight indirect effect on quality. The succes of all the cultivation techniques was greatly influenced by the year effect.
