Summary:Moisture availability is a major stressor in relation with yield quality and quantity performance of winter wheat. In a 12 years experimental series of winter wheat agronomic trials run at the Szent István University’s Nagygombos experimental site effect of water availability has been evaluated. Various crop years have had different impact on crop yield quantity. Yield figures were in positive correlation with annual precipitation in general. Water availability had diverse influence on quality manifestation. High precipitation has often resulted in poorer quality, especially gluten and Hagberg values have been affected by that. Drought stress reducing the amount of yield has induced quality improvement in a few cases.
