Summary

The effect of available water on yield (e.g. Waring, Fox and Teakle, 1958) and of nitrogen on yield and quality (e.g. Waring and Teakle, 1960) have been examined for wheat grown on black earths of the Darling Downs in Queensland. However, the joint effect and individual contributions of nitrogen and water to this effect in the field appear to have been neglected. Further, the condition known as mottled wheat, described by Wood (1960), is an important problem in the wheat industry, and it was felt by the authors that this condition was the result of a water-protein yield complex. It was therefore decided to examine the effects on yield, total protein and mottling of applications of nitrogen and water in a soil where these were deficient.
