A Realistic Approach to Calculating the Nitrogen Use Efficiency Index in Cereals with Winter Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) as an Example by Witold Grzebisz, Jarosław Potarzycki

“…These core datasets were used to calculate total N input (<i>N_in</i>) to the soil/crop system during the two main periods of WW growth: (1) before (vegetative mega-phase, V) and (2) after wheat flowering (reproductive mega-phase, R, or grain filling period, GFP). The number of grains per ear (GE) and the number of grains per unit area (grain density: GD) depended significantly on <i>N_in</i> at the onset of flowering. …”
