Core Ideas
- Nitrogen rate significantly affected wheat grain yield, protein content, protein yield, and N uptake at both locations, and N use efficiency at one of two locations.
- The 135 and 67 kg ha−1 pure live seed seeding rates resulted in comparable grain yield, test weight, grain protein, protein yield, and N uptake.
- Wheat protein yield was highest at 140 kg N ha−1; higher N rate (especially split-applied) may have improved wheat production further.
