Top Downloaded Manuscript: Seeding rate and nitrogen fertilizer rate effect on dryland no-till hard red spring wheat yield and quality

 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.

No inverse yield–protein relationship was observed at any of two locations.
