Effect of Split Nitrogen Applications on Durum Wheat Cultivars in Volcanic Soil

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important crop for the world population and occupies a large cultivated area worldwide. New cultivars need constant improvement of their agronomic management, within which N fertilization is highlighted. Durum wheat is also important in Chile where...

Effect of Split Nitrogen Applications on Durum Wheat Cultivars in Volcanic Soil
description Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important crop for the world population and occupies a large cultivated area worldwide.
