Effective nitrogen management is essential for producing irrigated hard white wheat with acceptable protein.
It is a 2-phased strategy; initially satisfying the N required during vegetative growth for maxiimizing yield, then later satisfying the additional N required for enhancing protein.
Providing all the N during early vegetative growth to satisfy the N required for both yield and high protein may be excessive for hard spring wheat due to lodging and other issues.
Managing N for both high yields and high protein is important to growers and end users. This publication provides a handy chart to calculate the fertilizer N needed to apply to reach expected yield and protein.
