abstract: Field experiment series with spring wheat and spring barley were carried out across Poland in the years 1989-2003. Dependence between grain yield and soil texture, P K Mg content in soil, soil pH and soil complex was investigated. The highest grain yields of cereals were obtained on more finely textured soil (silt, light loam), on good wheat complex, at soil pH above 5.5 and at higher P K Mg content in soil. More grain yield differentiation of cereals as affected by soil texture and less grain yield differentiation as affected by P content in soil was noted. Wheat showed higher yield decrease under inferior soil conditions than barley. More sensitivity to low soil pH was shown by barley.
