  <dc:description xml:lang="eng">Spelt wheat (Triticum spelta L.) is regarded as crop with high nutritional properties that
recently gain interest of organic growers and consumers. Although it is considered as a crop that is
relatively easy for growing, aggravated sowing, special nutrient requirement and response to
climatic conditions requires the adjustment of cropping technology. In order to assess different agroecological
conditions effects on the organic spelt production research was carried out to determine
yield and yield components, as well as the quality of the spelt. In this study cultivar Nirvana was
tested at nine different locations in Northern Serbia. The highest dehulled grain yield was obtained
in Nadalj organic farm (3980 kg ha-1) on a carbonated chernozem, and the highest protein content in
significant statistical dependence of yield and spike length, spike weight, number of grains per spike,
1000-grain weight, and harvest index and mutual influence between plant height, spike length,
weight spike, and grain weight per spike. Spelt wheat is relatively modest in demands towards the
soil fertility and tolerates a deficient cropping management. In this study, spelt responded well to
the fertilization, extended effects of manure application which could lead to the yield up to 4 t ha-1.
The biggest influence on the yield had sowing time, distribution of rainfall, as well as plant supply
with necessary nutrients. Also potentially unfavorable environmental conditions could be
compensated by proper soil management. Our study indicate that spelt growing in Northern Serbia
could result with higher yield compared to higher altitude areas, but protein content depend on the
amount of nutrient added in fertilization.
