Grain after enzymatic treatment, which is a starch-containing raw material, is used for ethanol production. Bioethanol production in Latvia began in 2006. Extraction of biofuels is a clean process, because the byproduct is used in various sectors of the economy. The bioethanol in Latvia was derived primarily from winter wheat, winter rye, and winter triticale. The objective of the research is to determine the different nitrogen fertiliser rates required for winter cereal crop yields and bioethanol outcome. The trials were carried out from 2005 to 2008 in Agricultural Science Centre of Latgale (Latvia). The method (ethanol outcome) is based on fermentation of saccharified cereal samples by yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae followed by the calculation of ethanol outcome and speed of fermentation. The highest starch content was in winter wheat and winter triticale grain, but the lowest - in winter rye grains. A close negative correlation (p is less than 0.05) was found for winter triticale and winter wheat between the ethanol outcome and thousand grain weight. Production of bioethanol from rye starch content is used with full utilisation of grain. The winter wheat has the largest ethanol outcome from one hectare.
