Symptoms of nitrogen deficiency
in wheat
•
•
•
•
Reduced tillering
Reduced root mass
Smaller leaf size
Lower leaves turn yellow and died from the
tip back
• Stunted growth and reduced tillering
• Adverse effect on spikelet formation, floret
formation, kernel fill, and grain protein
Other causes of similar symptoms

Drought injury
Sulfur deficiency
Barley yellow dwarf virus
Wheat streak mosaic virus
Herbicide injury due to:
– Acetanilides (Stampede)
– Imidazolinone symptoms on leaf tips (Assert, Pursuit,
Scepter)
– Sulfonylurea symptoms on leaf tips (Accent, Ally, Amber,
Beacon, Classic, Express, Glean, Muster, Pinnacle, Refine)
– as-Triazines (Lexone, Sencor)
– s-Triazines (Aatrex, Atrazine, Bladex)
N deficiency conditions and patterns
• Favorable conditions:
– Lack of available nitrogen due to excessively wet
soils in the growing season.
– Drought, sandy soils, and soils low in organic
matter
– Intensive cropping with insufficient nitrogen
• Pattern in field:
– Nitrogen deficiency generally occurs in areas of
soil compaction or high crop residue which may tie
up available nitrogen early in the growing season
– Symptoms also can appear on sandy ridges,
eroded hilltops and areas where water has
accumulated and leached the nitrogen out of the
root zone

Nitrogen deficiency
• Cool, wet weather: the plant can’t take N up
from the soil, even if the N is available (when
the temperature warms up, the plants will
recover)
• Can look like a virus (Wheat streak), but more
general chlorosis on leaves, look at the
pattern
