Adequate nutrients at each stage of development are essential for maximum economic yields of  wheat. Nitrogen removal per bushel by wheat compared to corn and grain sorghum is slightly higher due to the higher protein content of wheat. Removal per bushel of other nutrients is very similar to corn and grain sorghum.

In general, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the primary nutrient needs. Most Kansas soils supply adequate amounts of the secondary and micronutrients. Another important soil factor is pH, or the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Highly acid soils can be remedied by the application of lime.
