Abstract:Effect of Late Application of Nitrogen on the Grain Protein of a Maize Hybrid Rich in Lysine
1. In pot experiments the influence of an additional late N fertilizer application at time of flowering on a high yielding lysine‐rich experimental maize hybrid has been determined.
2. N‐fertilization at flowering increased the total‐N and the lysine‐contant of the grains. The lysine‐N in % of total‐N was constant at 5,1%. Comparable values from a former investigation with an opaque‐ and a standard hybrid are 6,0% lysi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
