Mineral content of herbage and grain of Halberd wheat in South Australia

Abstract

Samples of wheat from 42 experiments over five seasons in South Australia were collected at tillering, swollen boot, flowering, soft dough and harvest and analysed for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, silicon, copper, zinc and manganese. The results are compared with the limited amount of data published for Australian wheat and with other data for North American wheat.
