abstract: This study demonstrates the importance of individual factors that influence the growing technology of winter wheat. It was found that a suitable forecrop played the most important role in winter wheat production. The grain yield can be increased also by the application of fungicides. In the majority of cases, different methods of tillage and/or various variants of application of liquid fertilisers on straw did not show any effect on grain yield of winter wheat. These results provide valuable information not only for wheat growers in drier regions of the Czech Republic but also for those farmers who want to eliminate negative effects of more and more frequent periods of draught.
