Nitrogen is an important nutrient, due to its soil dynamics and crop demand. The amount of N supplied by the soil is however frequently insufficient, and N fertilization is required to obtain maximum yields. This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating different sources and periods of N application in no till wheat. A randomized block design was used in a factorial scheme 2x6 with four replications. The treatments consisteded of the combination of two N sources: Urea and Entec and six application times: control (without N); N at sowing (S); N 15 days after emergence (DAE); N 30 DAE; 1/3 of N at S + 2/3 15 DAE; and 1/3 of N at S + 2/3 30 DAE. The experiment was carried out at an experimental station of the UNESP in the county of Selvíria - Mato Grosso do Sul State, on a soil previously occupied by cerrado vegetation. The N applied 30 days after plant emergence induced highest grain yields, although statistically there was no difference to the application of 1/3 of N at sowing + 2/3 of N 30 days after plant emergence.
