Late N to boost protein.

[Breckland Boy]

I have some wheat which looks good and dare I say has good potential despite being on some blowing sand.
It has had 160kg of N.
The question is do/should I apply a little more to boost the protein and if so in which form?
It's Montana,
No T0 or T1
Epoxy, ctl and a mildewicide for T2
Tebconazole, ctl last weekend at T3

Yes. I would looks nice. Well done. If rain pretty much guaranteed do solid. If not liquid.

 

[Adeptandy]

I'm going with solid next few days

Just done 40kg N. Left the headlands as its a bit windy and doing them would have meant opening another 1 tonne bag.
Almost guaranteed not to rain now.

We have to put on 250kg N to hit milling. Generally we do 210kg early and then 40kg N protein spray in late June. 160kg is low for protein.

On our sand I find it unnecessary to use high fert rates as normally moisture limits yield. I have regularly made full spec with as low as 120kg of N. This year ear numbers are much higher than normal hence asking the collective. The crop will probably be double that of last year.

I’ve put 40kg granular N on this wk hoping to boost the protein. That’s the 4th pass. Want to leave out the multi N this year.

ordered profol to boost mine in a couple of weeks .Managed not to scorch last year by spraying between 10.30 PM n 3 AM

Have done 240kg so far on Montana second wheat, will possibly do a leaf N test before using liquid at milky ripe.
You need to get in excess of 14.5% protein to get the full premium available.

Montana here did 15.5 protein on 125kg N last year.
Once dressed it only did 1,5t/acre in the drought.
