abstract: An experiment with crop rotation systems for hard wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) was conducted at the Agricultural Experimental Station of Uhrusk in the years 2003-2005. It was set up in the split-plots design with four repetitions, on plots of 10 m2. The grey-brown rendzina soil, formed from light loam, weak sandy, was classified into the very good rye-type soil utility complex. The experiment concerned four crop rotations with varying proportions of hard wheat (25, 50, 75, 100%). The grain yield of hard wheat was affected by weather conductions in the years of the studies and by the rotation system. Hard wheat cultivation in monoculture decreased the grain yield by 19.8-24.3% in relation to the crop rotations with 25-75% of wheat. Cultivation of hard wheat in monoculture decreased the content of total protein in grain, wet gluten, sedimentation value and grain uniformity in relation to the crop rotations with 25-75% of wheat.
