How Foliar Fungal Diseases Affect Nitrogen Dynamics, Milling, and End-Use Quality of Wheat
Foliar fungal diseases may cause important losses on yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). They may impact crop growth rate differently, modifying nitrogen (N) dynamics and carbohydrate accumulation in the grain.
