“…According to Borghi et al (1995) and López-Bellido et al (2001), as N fertilizer rates increase, a rise in GPC and a corresponding improvement in W and the P/L ratio can be observed. On the other hand, Garrido-Lestache et al (2004) reported that late-season N application in a semiarid region only affected GPC and the W index, while it did not lead to any change in P/L.…”

“…Th us, once the N requirement for yield has been satisfi ed the distribution of additional N (30-50 kg N ha -1 ), aft er the vegetative growth stage (GS, Zadoks et al, 1974), is a common practice to increase wheat protein in irrigated cropping systems or in climatic zones with suffi cient spring rainfall (Borghi et al, 1995;Brown and Petrie, 2006;López-Bellido et al, 1998). Fuertes-Mendizábal et al (2010) reported that not only increasing the N fertilization rate, but also splitting the N fertilization into two or more soil amendments had a benefi cial eff ect on GPC and on wheat rheological quality.…”

“…Timing the N application to correspond to reproductive development leads to a higher protein synthesis and storage in grains, but delaying fertilization too long may restrict the amount of N that can be converted into quality protein (Brown et al, 2005). Nitrogen applied between boot and anthesis could be eff ective in enhancing GPC, although they do not generally increase grain yield (Borghi et al, 1995). Taking into account diff erent application timings, Brown et al (2005) and Ayoub et al (1994) reported that N soil fertilization at heading resulted in a higher fl our protein concentration; moreover, Ottman et al (2000) and Jones and Olson-Rutz (2012) indicated that this late-season soil application should be in the 30 to 50 kg N ha -1 range.…”

ABSTRACTe foliar N application at a low rate is a strategy that could be applied by farmers in substitution to the traditional late soil application when there are restrictions on N distribution. e aim of this study was to compare the e ect of late-season N fertilization strategies on wheat (Triticum spp.) quality. Field experiments were set up in two di erent soils, in Northwest Italy. e e ect of N fertilization was evaluated on two common (T. aestivum L.) and two durum wheat (T. turgidum L. var. durum Desf.) cultivars. Late-season N was soil-applied (40 kg N ha -1 ) as ammonium nitrate at heading, or foliar sprayed (5 kg N ha -1 ) at owering, and compared with a control without N fertilization a er the vegetative growth stage. Nitrogen soil application increased grain protein content (GPC) (+15%) for both crops. is fertilization strategy led also to higher test weight (+1.4%), kernel hardness (+14%), dough strength (W) (+42%), and lower tenacity/extensibility ratio P/L (-18%) in the common wheat, and to a lower yellowberry percentage in the durum wheat (-29%). e strategy to apply a foliar N fertilizer at anthesis at a lower rate, although it has a greater cost e ectiveness, led to a less e ective bread-or pasta-making quality enhancement, with an average increase of GPC and W only in the silt loam soil by 5 and 18%, respectively. is strategy could lead to more successful increase of GPC in soils with a probable lower nitrate leaching during the vegetative stages.

“…However, higher levels of N fertilizer are required to achieve optimal protein content rather than to maximise grain yield, therefore the reduction of N supply may negatively affect the bread making quality of wheat (Holford et al, 1992;Miceli et al, 1992;Borghi et al, 1995;Triboi and Triboi-Blondel, 2001;Woolfolk et al, 2002). The production of high quality wheat is lacking in the European Union, thus a key objective of the Italian farmers is the exploitation of the opportunity offered by the Mediterranean climate to obtain superior crops (Borghi et al, 1991).…”

In the European Union the production of high quality wheat is mainly located in the Mediterranean regions where the climatic conditions positively affect protein concentration in the grain. High quality wheat calls for proper management of nitrogen fertilization, thus there is a need to verify whether the limitations imposed by local governments on maximum rate of nitrogen fertilization admitted may affect bread making quality. Trials were conducted in fourteen environments (E) to study the effects of different nitrogen fertilizations on eight cultivars (C), belonging to four quality grades (Q). Nitrogen (N) was applied to crops according to three rates/modalities: N1 corresponding to the maximum rate admitted calculated according to a balance sheet method and distributed at the stage of spike initiation; N2 with 50 kg ha-1 of nitrogen more than N1, also distributed at the stage of spike initiation; N3 with 50 kg ha-1 of nitrogen more than N1 but distributed at the stage of flag leaf appearance. The effects of environment, nitrogen and cultivar were significant for grain yield, test weight, 1000 kernel weight, heading time, plant height and for quality traits (protein content and alveograph indices). The existence of variability among cultivars and quality grades in the response to rate and timing of nitrogen fertilization was demonstrated by the significance of NxC and NxQ interactions. Dry matter and nitrogen contents of plant at anthesis and at harvest were significantly affected by the main sources of variation. High quality cultivars yielded more grain of better quality with higher N rates (N2 and N3) as compared to the maximum rate of nitrogen admitted by the local government (N1). These results demonstrated that the adopted balance sheet method for the calculation of N requirements of wheat crop adversely affects the full potential expression of the cultivars belonging to superior bread making quality grades
