UNL to Study Possible Link Between Wheat Protein Levels and Fertilizer
A multi-disciplinary team of University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers will conduct a two-year study to see how soil nitrogen levels affect protein levels in the grain that comes from Nebraska wheat fields.
The team hopes to evaluate how grain quality, yield, and field stands are affected by nitrogen fertilizer rates and application timing. The trials will be conducted across the state and with variations in the amount of precipitation the plots receive.
Have a great week, and stay tuned to your local Rural Radio Network for more agriculture news and information!
