Protein Concentration of Winter Wheat Varieties in Oklahoma - 2023-2024
By Amanda de Oliveria Silva, Tyler Lynch, Brett Carver, Israel Molina Cyrineu, Samson Abiola Olaniyi. Learn about how protein is just one of many attributes that determines end-use quality and marketability of winter wheat. In fact, some millers and bakers would argue that functionality of wheat protein is more important than the quantity of protein. While varietal differences exist, variability in protein among environments is generally much larger. Factors such as nitrogen (N) fertilization and drought stress, for example, can sharply impact final wheat protein concentration.
