Abstract

The present research aims at assessing the influence of leaf fertilizers on the two common wheat varieties. Study results show that the crude protein content ranges from 128.50-143.94 g/kg DM in the Enola variety and from 115.93 to 127.34 g/kg DM in the Illico variety. The introduction of Wuxal Grano slurry increased the crude protein content by 9.1 and 12.0 % relative to the control. The applied leaf fertilizers do not affect the contents of FUM, FUG and PDI. As a result of the correlation analysis, a very high correlation (r = 0.947-0.993) was found between CP and PDI for both common wheat varieties.
