The gluten content is directly correlated with the level of fertilization of nitrogen which is strongly influenced by pedoclimatic conditions and wheat variety. The aim of this study was to show the effect of wheat variety, nitrogen rate and type and their interaction on wet gluten content and to determine the most effective N dose application and varieties, two key drivers that contribute guiding the future with efficient agronomic practices to guarantee wheat quality in the advent of the most significant changes for agriculture. The subject of the experiment consisted in testing during one wheat growing season, twenty-seven modern winter wheat varieties fertilized with nitric and ammoniacal nitrogen in three contrasting rates - 120, 150 and 170 kg N ha-1 active substance, applied in a single dose at BBCH 30-31. The biological material is represented by 27 autumn wheat varieties, some of the most cultivated wheat varieties in the Western Plain of Romania, and the criteria that were the basis of their choice is the specific qualities for milling and baking. This study reflects the results obtained in the research Laboratory for seed quality control at the University of Life Sciences “King Mihai I” from Timișoara, using the standard method, Perten Glutomatic System according to ISO 21415-2:201.
