Nutrients play a vital role in wheat production, both macro- and micronutrients being necessary for plants. Each nutrient has its own character and is involved in various metabolic processes of the life of wheat plants, that is why the influence of each cannot be clearly delineated. The purpose of the research is to present the yield results obtained at ARDS Caracal in the 2023-2024 agricultural year, for three Romanian wheat varieties (Glosa, Otilia and Carom), cultivated after different preceding crops (rape, peas, sunflower), using four different fertilization schemes. The obtained yields highlight the fact that each of the links in the technological scheme influences, to some extent, the quantity and quality of wheat production. Amidst prolonged soil droughts both in the fall of 2023 and in the spring-summer of 2024, the application of gradual-release inputs, doubled by biostimulants, managed to provide production increases of up to 22%, compared to the control variants. The results confirm that inputs play an essential role in increasing soil fertility, in full correlation with the fertilizers type, but also with the timing of their application.
