Technological properties and composition of volatile compounds in winter wheat malts grown with addition of seed meals into soil.

Wheat malts are necessary to produce wheat beers. In this study, wheat was grown with addition of seed meals into the soil, to determine whether such agricultural practice could improve the quality of the grain and, therefore, improve the quality of wheat malt produced from these grains. It was determined, that malt produced from the grains of the winter wheat cultivated with the use of seed meals is characterised with improved technological properties, such as saccharification time, filtration time and extract content and some of the seed meals had a positive impact on the content of various volatile compounds present in the produced malts.

Possibilities of Using Seed Meals in Control of Herbicide-Susceptible and -Resistant Biotypes of Rye Brome ( L.) in Winter Wheat.

Rye brome is a rare and nuisance weed in winter wheat canopies. In recent years, farmers have complained about the inadequate chemical control of this species. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of seed meals obtained from allelopathic crops as an environmentally-friendly alternative for the control of herbicide-susceptible (S) and -resistant (R) rye brome biotypes in winter wheat.
