Increasing wheat protein with a post-anthesis application of UAN

  • Term: 1 year, beginning in 2018

  • Status: Ongoing

  • Funding Amount: $66,580

  • Lead Researcher(s): Mike Hall (East Central Research Foundation)

  • Funding Partners: Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture - Agriculture Development Fund (ADF)

Project Description

The main focus of this trial is to demonstrate the potential of post-anthesis application of UAN to increase wheat grain protein. This demonstration will open up the discussion around increasing wheat protein and will serve to help farmers to apply post-emergent UAN to their crop as safely and efficiently as possible and to decide the suitable circumstances for a post-anthesis application, that is likely to be profitable.
