Timing, Source, And Placement Of Nitrogen Fertilizer Increases Wheat Yield And Protein Content In High Yielding Environments, L. M. Simão, D. A. Ruiz Diaz, R. P. Lollato Jan 2021

Timing, Source, And Placement Of Nitrogen Fertilizer Increases Wheat Yield And Protein Content In High Yielding Environments, L. M. Simão, D. A. Ruiz Diaz, R. P. Lollato

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The efficiency of nitrogen (N) fertilizer management depends on rate, timing, placement, and source, but the benefits of an integrated program have not been clearly quantified, to our knowledge. This study aimed to investigate the effects of integrated N management on winter wheat grain yield, grain protein content, grain test weight, and biomass in Kansas. The study consisted of two N management treatments: Normal (single N application as UAN using broadcast nozzles with the absence of urea inhibitors); and Progressive (split N application into two timings using streamer bars with urease inhibitors). Both treatments had similar results in all variables …


Wheat Variety Yield Response To Nitrogen And Sulfur Rates During The 2019–2020 Growing Season, B. R. Jaenisch, T. Wilson, N. Nelson, M. Guttieri, R. P. Lollato Jan 2021

Wheat Variety Yield Response To Nitrogen And Sulfur Rates During The 2019–2020 Growing Season, B. R. Jaenisch, T. Wilson, N. Nelson, M. Guttieri, R. P. Lollato

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Early spring visual sulfur (S) deficiency symptoms are increasingly a concern for Kansas wheat growers, but the extent of yield limitation due to S deficiencies and its interaction with nitrogen (N) supply is not well quantified in this environment. Our objective was to evaluate the responses of three wheat varieties to the interaction of N and S rates. The experiment was conducted in four Kansas locations during the 2019–2020 winter wheat growing season: Ashland Bottoms, Argonia, Belleville, and Hutchinson. These locations were selected to provide a range in soil textures and organic matter content, as these variables might impact the …


Do Different Wheat Varieties Respond Differently To Nitrogen Rates In Terms Of Grain Yield And Grain Protein Concentration In Kansas?, N. Giordano, R. P. Lollato Jan 2021

Do Different Wheat Varieties Respond Differently To Nitrogen Rates In Terms Of Grain Yield And Grain Protein Concentration In Kansas?, N. Giordano, R. P. Lollato

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Nitrogen management in wheat can result in positive impacts on grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) if addressed correctly. The aim of this study was to compare whether different varieties responded differently in terms of grain yield and GPC to management of nitrogen (N) rate across different environments. Factorial field experiments were carried out in a split-plot design in four different Kansas locations to evaluate the combination of four N rates (whole plot, 0, 40, 80, and 120 lb N/a) and fourteen different commercially available winter wheat varieties (sub-plots). Grain yield and GPC were measured at harvest maturity. The …
