Industrial quality in cultivars of wheat and triticale submitted to the nitrogen fertilization in no-till system

The work was developed in season cropping 2004 and 2005 in Selvíria county (MS), Brazil, with aim of evaluate the effect of different rates of nitrogen (N) in side dress on the industrial characteristics of the cultivars of wheat and triticale in no-till system. The completely randomize design was used with split plots with 30 treatments, consisting of the six combination of cultivars in plots, being five cultivars of wheat (IAC 364, IAC 370, Embrapa 22, BRS 210 and BRS 207) and one of triticale (IAC 3), and five rates of N in side dress (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1) in subplots, with four replicatons. In function of the results gotten, the hectoliter weight of triticale was inferior to the ones of the wheat, with the nitrogen fertilization providing reduction in this component; the falling number is adjusted, not being affected for the nitrogen fertilization; relation P/L of the flour of general form is raised, harming the commercial flour acceptance for bread-making; the nitrogen fertilization in covering develops the gluten strength (W) as well as the protein content of the flour and reduces relation P/L positively, influencing in the quality of the flour for bread-making; the flour of triticale is not adjusted for end of bread-making for its reduced gluten strength.
