Study of wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of nitrogen after anthesis

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of Nitrogen after<br />flowering. The RCBD design was analysed with three replications and four N-treatments as foliar application as<br />(N0=0, N1=4kg.ha-1 Urea, N2=8kg.ha-1 Urea, N3=4kg.ha-1 Ammonium Sulfate). Results showed that seed protein<br />content increased significantly by foliar application of Nitrogen. Data showed that there was significant difference<br />among protein content of treatment. According to results, use of 8kg.ha-1 Urea was the best treatment for grain<br />protein increase. In this treatment, seed protein content increased from 11.3 to 12.8 percent. Grain yield didn t affect<br />by treatments.
