Split nitrogen application improves wheat baking quality by influencing protein composition rather than concentration

The use of late nitrogen (N) fertilization (N application at late growth stages of wheat, e.g. booting, heading or anthesis) to improve baking quality of wheat has been questioned. Although it increases protein concentration, the beneficial effect on baking quality (bread loaf volume) needs to be cl...
