Different fetilization, cultivars, companion crops, sowing times, and many other strategies can be used to deal with restrictions on pesticides. All of them, including pests themselves, have an effect on the protein content of the final product. I grow many kinds of wheat in small quantities, seldom enough to make bread, but I play with all those factors for the sake of genetic diversity and the result is that I never need pesticides at all. | |

I think that in this context the answer by @Scott Tramposch is the most plausible explanation. | |
