Wheat
Wheat nutrient requirements
Wheat nutrient requirements
Wheat nutrient requirements vary depending on the crop growth stage. Find out which nutrients are most important at different growth stages.
Roles of nutrients at different growth stages
Establishment
Nitrogen
for early rapid growth.
Phosphate
to supply the energy for early growth and development, especially root mass.
Tillering
Nitrogen
for leaf development and size, increasing tiller number per plant.
Manganese
for its role in the structure of photosynthetic proteins and enzymes.
Stem Extension
Nitrogen
for large leaves, rapid growth and development.
Phosphate
to supply the energy for growth and development.
Potassium
for plant water regulation and structural integrity.
Sulphur
for yield and quality improvements.
Manganese
for its role in the structure of photosynthetic proteins and enzymes.
Zinc
for enzyme reactions, nitrogen metabolism, and protein synthesis.
Flag Leaf and Grain Filling
Nitrogen
for higher yields through green leaf duration, grain site survival, grain size and protein levels.
Magnesium
for green leaf duration.
Phosphate
for dry matter remobilisation for yield improvements.
Boron
for pollen viability.

Wheat nutritional summary
A correct balance between macronutrients and micronutrients is essential to obtain the best results possible from wheat. A deficiency of any single nutrient is enough to limit crop yield.
Wheat agronomic principals
The agronomic principals behind wheat production are to first build an efficient leaf canopy and then keep this photosynthetically active right through to harvest. An effective crop nutrition programme can help achieve both of these objectives.
Wheat growth and development
The wheat crop goes through three distinct phases as it grows from planting to harvest. These phases can be described as foundation, construction and production.
Wheat nutrient application timing
Wheat varieties can be categorised either by type based on varietal genetics or by classification which is based on varietal properties.
Wheat crop nutrition programmes
Yara's crop nutrition programmes for wheat can help you to achieve excellent crop performance and maximise the yield and quality of all wheat crops.
