Abstract: The field experiments with winter wheat were conducted at the Lithuanian Research Centre of Agriculture and Forestry in 2007 – 2009, and whit maize in 2010 – 2012. In field experiments winter wheat and maize leaf area, biomass and grain yield was measured with a view to interconnect fertilization with nitrogen as well as water availability status. Our study suggest that under Lithuanian climate conditions water availability plays an important role in the formation of grain yield; however, nitrogen nutrition is a major limiting factor of concern, specially under law input management.
