In the years 2008-2010 an field experiment was carried out, whose aim was determination of reaction of spring wheat to diversified sowing rates of: 350, 450, 550, 650, and 750 grains·m^-2. The experiment was carried out on soil of bonitation class IIIa. As expected, together with the increase of the sowing density, plant density also increased as well as ear density per area unit. It was also observed that the applied sowing rates significantly modified the grain number per ear as well as the weight of 1000 seeds. With the sowing rate of 650 grains per m², the grain yield was 7.26 t·ha^-1 and was significantly higher compared with the yield from plots where the sowing rates were as follows: 350, 450 and 750 grains per m². Uniformity and plumpness of the grain were 88.14%.
