Abstract

Abstract Soft winter wheat is used to make cookies, cakes, crackers, donuts, etc., and as such, grain nitrogen content (as protein) is an important determinant of flour quality and eventually the quality of the products made from it. Intensive Cereal Management (ICM) techniques are being adapted throughout the midwestem United States to increase grain yield and crop profits. The effect of additional/altered management inputs on grain nutrient content is important since they may be detrimental to subsequent product quality. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cultivars and ICM inputs on grain nutrient content Identical field studies were conducted in 1985 and 1986 at Columbus, OH, East Lansing, MI, and Madison, WI containing three cultivars subjected to each of three management treatments differing in seeding and nitrogen rates, and the use of a fungicide, Propiconazole (Tilt) and plant growth regulator, Ethephon (Cerone). Nitrogen in the form of urea was applied at specific growth ...
