During the two-year trials we examined the quality of wheat grain (absolute weight, hectolitre weight and protein content) depending of genotype and application of nutrition and soil improver. The experiments were carried out in the laboratory of the Agricultural Faculty of the University of East Sarajevo in 2012/13 and 2013/14 with three wheat cultivars (Orion, Kristina and Bosanka) that have been created in the Agricultural Institute of the Republic of Srpska and four variants of the soil nutrition (control or the substrate itself, N15P15K15, N15P15K15 + natural zeolite and synthetic zeolite N15P15K15 +), in order to determine the relationship between different genotypes of domestic wheat cultivars and substrate enriched with NPK fertilizers, natural and synthetic zeolites and their impact on the qualitative properties of wheat grain. As a substrate Novobalt was used. Cultivar Bosanka had the highest absolute weight, while a variety of Orion had the highest hectoliter weight and protein content. Soil improvers (natural and synthetic) in combination with NPK fertilizers had a positive impact on the quality of wheat grain.
