Varying rates of nitrogen and phosphorus were applied to hard red spring wheat grown on stubble fields at three locations in southern Alberta in 1955 and 1956. Significant yield increases were obtained at the three locations in 1955 as a result of applications of nitrogen. At two of the three locations further increases in yield resulted from the addition of phosphorus. In 1956 significant yield increases were obtained at two of the three locations following nitrogen applications, and at only one of these locations did the addition of phosphorus result in further significant increases in yield. At two of the three locations in both 1955 and 1956 high rates of nitrogen fertilizer caused significant increases in protein content over the unfertilized check. Phosphorus additions significantly reduced the effect of nitrogen on the protein content at one location in one year, but had no consistent effect in the other experiments. The experimental results indicate that, when moisture is adequate, more than 40 lb. of nitrogen per acre, and at least 80 lb. per acre in some cases, must be applied before increases in protein content of spring wheat can be expected.

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>The accuracy of fertilizer dosage for one-year-old oil palm plants is very important. The objective of the research was to determine the optimum rates of Nitrogen and Phosphorus fertilizers for young oil palm. The experiment was conducted at IPB-Cargill Teaching Farm of Oil Palm at Jonggol, from March 2013-March 2014. This study consisted of two separate experiments namely (1) Optimizing Nitrogen and (2) Optimizing Phosphorus. Both experiments used randomized block design with one factor and three replications. The treatments were five rates of nitrogen or phosphorus (0, 135, 270, 405, 540 g N per plant; 0, 135, 270, 405, 540 g P2O5 per plant). The results showed that nitrogen fertilizer rates increased height linearly at 10 month after treatment (MAT) and quadratically at 12 MAT. Stem girth, frond production and leaf area of 9th frond increased quadratically with N rates (9, 10, 12 MAT). Nitrogen fertilizer quadratically increased leaf chlorophyll content (12 MAT), but did not significantly affected leaf-N content. Phosphorus fertilizer increased palm height linearly (9, 10 MAT) and quadratically (12 MAT). Phosphorus linearly increased stem girth (12 MAT) and quadratically (9, 10 MAT). Frond production was quadratically increased with phosphorus rates (9, 10, 12 MAT). Phosphorus linearly increased leaf area of 9th frond (9 MAT) and quadratically (12 MAT). The optimum rates of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers for one year old plant was 382 g N and 331 g P2O5 per plant, respectively.</p><p>Keywords: inorganic, nutrient, optimum rates, single fertilizer</p>

Loam Soil

Spring wheat, with fertilizer applied in the drill rows, was grown in wild-oat-infested stubble on a Shallow Lethbride loam soil for 4 years, Phosphorus had no measurable effect on the height, straw weight, seed yield, or number of wild-oat plants. In contrast, nitrogen increased the number of seed-bearing stems, plant height, straw weight, and seed yield, but did not change the wild-oat stand. Wheat yields were increased by nitrogen and further increased by the addition of phosphorus at the rate of 20 pounds of P2O5 per acre in 3 of the 4 years. Measured bushel weight of the wheat increased with nitrogen fertilizer additions and was further increased by phosphorus except at the high rate of both materials. Fertilizer applications, under conditions similar to those encountered in this test, may be useful for increasing wheat production, but only at the expense of producing increased quantities of wild-oat seed.

Solubility characteristics and amino acid composition of the endosperm proteins of one line of Triticale, its durum wheat and rye parent cultivars, and one cultivar of hard red spring wheat were compared. Quantitative distribution of the soluble protein fractions and amino acid compositions showed that the proteins of Triticale are intermediate in these properties between analogous properties of the proteins of its durum wheat and rye parents. The major differences between the hard red spring wheat and the other three species were its lower content of water-soluble proteins and higher content of insoluble or gluten proteins. This appears lo be the main reason for the superior breadmaking quality of the hard red spring wheat cultivar compared with the other species used in this study.

Hard Red Spring Wheat

A rapid method for gas bleaching small samples has been described. A series of eight flours of varying protein content was prepared and divided into six subseries. One of these was used as a check; three were bleached with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 oz. Betachlor per barrel respectively and the remaining two were treated with 0.36 and 0.72 oz. Novadel per barrel respectively. The forty-eight samples thus obtained were baked one day after treatment and again after storing for one month.Novadel gives a good bleach but has little if any maturing effect. Betachlor is somewhat poorer than Novadel in bleaching effect but it matures the flour. The maturing effect on weak flours is slight but with high protein flours it increases with increasing dosages. This reaction seems to be dependent to some extent on the quantity of protein present.Unbleached flour baked with addition of potassium bromate gives practically the same result as chlorine-bleached flour baked by the simple formula. Aging causes further improvement in quality of chlorine-bleached flours but not so much as in unbleached or Novadel-bleached flours. The color of the bleached samples improved with aging at almost the same rate as the unbleached samples. The blending quality of flours does not appear to improve as a result of bleaching. Both bleached and unbleached samples in this experiment when baked by the bromate formula in a blend with soft flour, gave practically the same results with respect to loaf volume, texture, and appearance, and only a slight inferiority of the unbleached in color score.

SUMMARYA field experiment was carried out at the Wye College Farm during 1988 and 1989. The aim was to study the effects of three rates and timings of nitrogen fertilizer application on the grain protein content of spring wheat cv. Axona. Results demonstrated that timing of fertilizer application was more important than the rate of nitrogen used. Grain protein development and final grain protein contents are discussed in relation to the seasonal variations experienced during the 1988 and 1989 growing seasons in South East England. Due to the early February sowing in 1989, grain protein content was not affected by the summer drought. Thus, the advantage of early sowing of spring wheat to reduce the detrimental effect of early summer drought on the grain protein content is emphasised.

Fermentation Test

The gray wooded soils found at Fallis, Alberta, provided a satisfactory means of obtaining a differentiation in kernel texture in hard red spring wheats. Correlation studies showed that the varieties behaved more or less similarly from year to year in kernel texture, protein content and loaf volume, but not in partial baking score. Kernel texture was indicated as being a better measure of partial baking score than protein content, while the latter was the better index of loaf volume. A close relation was found between the kernel texture of the varieties grown at Fallis and both the partial baking score and loaf volume of the same varieties grown at Edmonton. In the case of protein content determined on the Fallis material no such relation was obtained. The wheat-meal fermentation test was found to be of little value in differentiating between the baking quality of hard red spring wheat varieties.
