Wheat, Barley, and Durum Wheat

  • Chapter

Abstract

In the first part of this chapter, we propose to determine the curve of critical plant N% for cereals during the development of the crop ranging from tillering to anthesis, for different cultivars and growth conditions. The results are mainly derived from Justes et al. (1994) with winter wheat. The validity of the curve of critical plant N% will also be evaluated for spring barely and durum wheat.
