Abstract

Analysis of data from grain of 3-13 varieties variously grown between 1972 and 1975 at four sites under different nitrogen regimes revealed significant varietal differences for iron, zinc, copper, chromium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and molybdenum, depending on year of cultivatin and site. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer did not affect the mineral composition of the varieties. Site had a greater influence than variety on the mineral composition of the grain
