Wheat Fertilization Program

Wheat is one of Turkey's most important agricultural products. A correct fertilization program is critical for high yield and quality products.

Wheat's Nutrient Requirements

Wheat requires on average per decare:

• 10-15 kg Nitrogen (N)

• 5-8 kg Phosphorus (P2O5)

• 3-6 kg Potassium (K2O)

  Fertilization Periods

  1. Base Fertilization (Before Planting)

All phosphorus and potassium plus part of nitrogen is applied.

Recommended Fertilizers:

• DAP 18-46-0: 15-20 kg/da

• or NPK 15-15-15: 25-30 kg/da

  2. Top Dressing (Tillering Period)

Most of the nitrogen is applied during this period.

Recommended Fertilizers:

• Urea 46: 10-15 kg/da

• or CAN 26: 15-20 kg/da

  3. Stem Extension Period

Additional nitrogen supplementation is made if necessary.

Conclusion

You can achieve optimum yield by adjusting doses according to soil analysis results.
