How much fertiliser is needed for wheat?

The amount of fertiliser needed for wheat depends on several factors, including soil conditions, wheat variety, and expected yield. As a general guide, wheat typically requires around 100 to 150 pounds (45 to 68 kilograms) of nitrogen per acre. This amount may be split into multiple applications, with the first application made at planting and the second application made during the growing season. If manure is used, the nitrogen application rate may be reduced accordingly.

In addition to nitrogen, wheat may also require phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients. The best way to determine the exact fertiliser requirements for your wheat crop is to consult with your local agricultural extension office.
