very dry year a low N uptake at maximum tillering is predictable, resulting in lesser N available for grain production. The N use efficiency was considerably affected by the amount of precipitation during the cropping season. In 2002, the severe drought condition that prevailed caused a significant reduction in the N use efficiency for grain production at all levels of nutrient application except the high‐input level. Yield loss at the very high input rate was as a result of blast (Figure 9). In 2000, which was a drought free year, NUEg was relatively highest at the low‐input level of fertilizer application, but in drier years the point of high NUEg was at the high‐input level. The low‐input variety WAB56‐50 had the highest NUEg at all levels of fertilizer input in 2000 and 2001. In the driest year WAB377‐B‐16‐L3 had the best NUEg at high‐input fertilizer application level. There are genotypic differences in NUEg, and the level apparently depends on amount of available nutrient and moisture. Very low NUEg and relative high N stem content were recorded in 2002 at the zero and low‐input application levels. This may be explained by the fact there may have been reduced translocation due to reduced mass flow in the plant. This caused N stagnation in the stem and less translocation for use in grain production. It is estimated that 70% of the plantʹs needs at grain‐filling stage comes from remobilization from within the plant. 59
