The role of time and rate of N fertilization in influencing milling and baking quality of ‘Oasis’ soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied for 1 year at one location and years at a second location. The N fertilizer treatments were combinations of fall (0, 11, 22, 33, and 44 kg N ha⁻¹) and spring (0, 22, 44, 66, and 88 kg N ha⁻¹) N rates. Location-years were found to have a major influence on milling and baking quality. In 1978, the grain protein content and flour protein was 1 to 3% units higher than in 1979. Fall N application rates above 33 kg ha⁻¹ resulted in detrimental effects on milling and baking scores. Milling and baking scores were significantly lowered in only one of the three location-years at the Georgia recommended spring N rate (66 kg ha⁻¹). Specifically, spring N rates affected baking quality by the increase of flour protein. The correlation coefficients between flour protein and AWRC and cookie diameter were 0.79 and −0.80, both highly significant, respectively. The trend toward higher rates (above 88 kg ha⁻¹) of N could result in higher protein content which would lower baking quality.
