Top 8 Recommendations For Winter Wheat Establishment In 2016

Aug 24, 2016

Subscribe to our Newsletters
By Shawn Conley, University of Wisconsin 
 
Top 8 winter wheat establishment recommendations:
  1. Variety selection: please see the 2016 WI Winter Wheat Performance Test
  2. Plant new seed (DO NOT plant saved seed).
  3. A fungicide seed treatment is recommended for winter wheat in WI, especially for seed damaged by Fusarium head blight (FHB)
  4. Wheat should be planted 1 inch deep.
  5. The target seeding rate for wheat planted from September 15th to October 1st is 1,300,000 to 1,750,000 seeds per acre.
  6. The optimal seeding rate for wheat planted after October 1st should be incrementally increased as planting date is delayed to compensate for reduced fall tillering.
  7. Crop rotation matters.
  8. Plant between September 20 and October 5
