ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL VALUE OF TRITICAL GRAIN FERTILIZED WITH MANURE AND MICROELEMENTS

key words: winter triticale, manure fertilisation, microelements fertilisation, technological value of grain

Summary:

Triticale grain has a high feed value, but it can also be used for consumption purposes, where it can be used as a raw material for the production of bread. The baking value is related to the technological parameters, which should be characterized by optimal values. They are determined, among other things, by both mineral and natural fertilisation. Therefore, two-factor research was carried out using the randomized subblock method. The experimental material consisted of winter triticale grain. The research factors were: natural fertilisation (manure) and foliar spraying with selected microelements (Cu, Zn, Mn, Cu+Zn+Mn). The aim was to check the influence of the above-mentioned factors and their interactions on the technological value of grain. The highest values of the falling number, in relation to the control objects, were found after the application of manure and in the object where a total of copper, zinc and manganese were applied foliarly. It was found that manure fertilisation and foliar fertilisation with copper, zinc, manganese and their combined application resulted in an average in the value increase of features of the protein complex of triticale (protein, gluten, sedimentation) and bread volume, compared to the control. The indicators of the enzymatic and protein complex were significantly determined by the interaction of natural fertilisation and the application of microelements. The most favorable values of these features were found after the application of manure and foliar zinc.
