| Abstract | The performance of cultivars is strongly linked to the growing conditions that vary according to both controlled and uncontrolled experimental factors. Specifically, there is a need to control the efficiency of N use by wheat, Triticum aestivum L., to minimize nitrogen losses and deficiency. The nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is a precise indicator of nitrogen status but it does not suit the users’ practical constraints because it requires time-consuming measurements and destructive plant sampling at a precise growth stage. Here we tested the soil plant analysis development (SPAD) chlorophyll meter as an alternative to the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI). The chlorophyll meter is a more convenient, leaf clip-on device that determines the relative amount of chlorophyll present in plant leaves. We first identified which leaf should be used; we then compared SPAD and NNI data from various experiments. We also followed SPAD measurements around flowering time to determine a common time span of measurements for all the cultivars of a trial presenting a wide range of earliness. Our results show a non-cultivar-dependent, exponential relationship between the SPAD index and NNI at flowering, with a r$^{2}$ equal to 0.89. This result implies that the SPAD chlorophyll meter can be used as an alternative to NNI to measure N status in wheat. We also showed that SPAD measurements can be taken before flowering, e.g. during heading, to characterize nitrogen status at flowering. This result provides an organizational leeway to experimenters who can then follow more precisely the N status of their trials. Thus the SPAD index is a good substitute for NNI because it is convenient to use. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
