Protein Bump

[HappyFarmer]

Any one out their top dressing wheat to give protein a bump? I've got a bunch of Faller that's looking real nice and was thinking of throwing 20 or 30 pounds of N using 28 on it just before heading to bump the protein. Is that the right time to put it on? Is 28 the right product to use? I was told it was but I'm worried about damaging the flag. Any advice would be helpful.

That will work fine just throw some sulphur in with it or agrotain. Make sure it dribble band and burn will be minimized.

There are some studies on top dressing wheat to provide a protein increase but I think they were mostly inconclusive. I think they found it was more of a weather/yield factor, Higher the yeild the lower the protein.

20-25 #s after anthesis is the most reliable way to increase protein. It would be a separate pass, as too late for fungicide.
