The effect of subsoil mineral nitrogen on grain protein concentration of wheat / by Mohammad Lotfollahi.

Copy of author's previously published work inserted. / Bibliography: leaves 147-189. / xxi, 189 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This project examines the uptake of mineral N from the subsoil after anthesis and its effect on grain protein concentration (GPC) of wheat. The overall objective is to examine the importance of subsoil mineral N and to investigate the ability of wheat to take up N from the subsoil late in the season under different conditions of N supply and soil water availability. Greenhouse experiments investigate the importance of subsoil mineral N availability on GPC of wheat and the factors that contribute to the effective utilisation of N. The recovery of N from subsoil, the effect of split N application on GPC and short term N uptake by the wheat at different rooting densities are also studied. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Soil Science, 1997
