Although at present, both in our country and internationally, in the world grain trade, protein content is an indicator of grain quality, it is positively correlated with other quality indicators such as gluten content, gluten index and sedimentation index. The present study followed the influence of mineral fertilization and pedoclimatic conditions in the Pecica-Arad microzone on the level of production and its quality, expressed by protein content, gluten content, gluten index and sedimentation index. The study was conducted between 2019 and 2021, in the low plain of the Mures Meadow. The variety used in the experimentation was Ciprian, created at SCDA Lovrin. The protein content values achieved at the 5 N doses highlight that it ranges from 11.84% (N0) to 15.34% (N120). Analyzing the production obtained also from the point of view of the values of quality indicators (wet gluten over 25%, gluten index 86.33 and sedimentation index above the threshold of 50) and comparing these values with the regulated limits for each one, we can appreciate the special quality of the harvest.
