To assess the effect of nitrogen rate and timing on wheat yield and grain quality
To assess the impact of sowing rate on grain yield and quality
Key messages
The effect of nitrogen manipulation on grain yield and quality was masked by the inability to control foliar disease in the trial and the effect on yield of the dry October period. High base soil nitrogen levels resulted in high grain protein levels with little difference between treatments. The best net return was achieved using only the 10 kg/ha nitrogen at sowing. It did not pay to apply any post sowing nitrogen. Grain quality parameters such as test weight and thousand grain weights were extremely disappointing.
