Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most widespread cereal crops in Romania. Various factors, including the fertilization regime, climatic conditions, etc. can influence wheat yield and quality. It is commonly known that fertilization has a fundamental position in obtaining high yields and high-quality grains. Given the current trend towards the use of organic matter for fertilization and the reduction of synthetic fertilizers to mitigate the climate effects, our study aimed to assess the effects of short-term organic and mineral fertilization on wheat grain yield and quality. The field trial was set up at the Research and Development Station for Agronomy (RDSA) of Moara Domnească belonging to USAMV of Bucharest, Romania, on a preluvosoil-type soil. Three doses of manure compost (15 t/ha; 30 t/ha and 60 t/ha) were applied in the autumn of 2021 either alone or in combination with NPK complex fertilizers 20:20:0. The yield components, yield, and grain quality of winter wheat were positively affected by the application of organic and mineral fertilizers, with significant differences being observed between variants and compared to the control (soil).
