The field experiment was conducted at Zawady Experimental Station of University of Podlasie in three vegetative seasons (1990/1991, 1991/1992, 1992/1993) on light, soil classified as fluvisols. The effects of three factors were tested: nitrogen fertilization on three levels (50, 100, 150 kg N/ha), type of retardant (Bercema CCC, Flordimex T, control), variety of winter triticale (Grado, Presto, Ugo). The grain samples were analyzed for total protein content (N x 5.83), using the Kjeldahl method. The same material was used for amino acid analysis on an automatic AA-analyser. Increasing N fertilization levels increased grain total protein concentration significantly. The highest values of essential amino acids (except lysine) were noted for the dose 100 kg N/ha. The level 150 kg N/ha decreased essential amino acids concentration significantly. The effect of retardants on protein concentration was generally negative, but the influence on nutritional value of protein was positive - the sum of essential amino acids increased.
