Leaf Blade Dry Weight and Leaf Area Index × SPAD Value at Anthesis Can Be Used to Estimate Nitrogen Application Rate at Anthesis Required to Obtain Target Protein Content of Grain in Bread Wheat

We analyzed the relationship between growth-related traits at anthesis and protein content of grain at maturity to develop a method of estimating the nitrogen (N) application rates at anthesis required to obtain the target protein content of grain in the bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar M...
