Mean values by variety and by nitrogen application for plant height, grain yield (at 15% moisture content) and component traits, thousand grain weight (TGW) of grain and de-hulled groat and macro nutrient composition expressed as % dry matter (DM). Replication n3. Different letters indicate significant differences between mean values at p < 0.05 as calculated by Fisher’s least significance difference test. N treatment and Variety p values (and their interaction) and the level of significance of these factors as calculated by two-way ANOVA analysis
