Optimization of Winter Wheat Nutrition
Response of winter wheat to foliar sprays with Potassium Nitrate is studied in field experiments conducted in drought-affected areas.
IPNI-2015-RUS-6
Location: Volgograd Oblast, Southern Federal District. Objectives: 1) Improve winter wheat nutrition on southern chernozems and light chestnut soils. 2) Optimize fertilizer expenditures when growing winter wheat on southern chernozems and light chestnut soils. Goals: 1) Study the response of winter wheat to foliar sprays with Potassium Nitrate. 2) Adjust the number of sprays with Potassium Nitrate and its concentrations. Read more

Interpretive Summary
The 2016-2017 season was the second experimental season under this project. Field experiments with winter wheat were again conducted at two locations having different soil types: Southern Chernozem (Haplic Chernozem Pachic) and Light Chestnut soil (Haplic Kastanozem Chromic). Both soils had a heavy texture, high pH, moderate organic matter (OM) content (3. 8% and 1.
Field experiments were initiated in the fall, 2015. One field location had a Southern Chernozem soil and the other had a with light Chestnut soil. Both soils had a heavy texture, high pH, low organic matter (1. 8 to 3. 4 %), elevated nitrate concentrations, medium or ‘increased’ P concentrations (28 to 32 ppm P2O5) and ‘increased’ and high K concentrations (392 to 420 ppm K2O) in the 0 to 20 cm soil depth.
