Wheat
Wheat streak mosaic can be severe, at times leading to total loss when a wheat field is abandoned because of stunted plants that cannot be harvested by a combine or when the yield is so poor that it is not worth combining.
Growing conditions and available moisture obviously affect yield, but it all starts with varieties that have the genetic potential to succeed in your area.
While European wheat management systems are being used across the U.S., Phil Needham is often asked: “Why are wheat yields still so much higher in England?”
Scientists have determined the macro- and micro-nutrient levels in seed hybrids and varieties, which they say could improve yield outcomes and food nutritional values.
Seeding date can have an effect on everything from fertilizer use to disease development.
Average wheat yields at Missouri test sites were higher than expected, according to the new 2013 Missouri Wheat Variety Crop Performance report.
Wheat College strives to arm farmers with information they can take home to increase yields.
Boosting yields doesn’t necessarily require a significant financial investment. More often than not, the difference lies in addressing the weak links in the system.
Corn plants stressed by extreme heat and too little water yielded less grain and left more nitrogen in soils than in normal years.
You should review what herbicides you used earlier in the year before planting a winter wheat crop.
