Effectively increasing the grain protein concentration (GPC) of hard red winter (HRW) wheat would allow producers to obtain adequate GPC levels while avoiding costly discounts and potentially obtaining protein premiums. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different droplet sizes and rates of foliar applications of nitrogen made postanthesis to winter wheat grain yield, GPC, and flag‐leaf nitrogen concentrations.
