Liming and fertilization impact on winter wheat components

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of liming, different rates of mineral NPK fertilization and their combination on winter wheat grain and straw yield and some morphological traits and yield components. The field trials were setup 2003/2004 in a randomized block design in three replicate on two sites in the eastern Croatia, on the district luvisol with low pH and low nutrients availability. The most of investigated traits were more influenced by fertilization alone or in combination with liming, than liming itself. Liming raised winter wheat grain and straw yield and plant height, but didn’t affect spike length, number of spikelet per spike and harvest index, while considerable fertilization impact was observed for grain and straw yield and all yield components except for harvest index.
