Management adjustments when sowing wheat late
While a large percentage of the 2021 Kansas wheat crop has been planted, there may still be fields waiting to be planted. Different management adjustments can be made to compensate for late planting.
Late planting of soybeans: Management considerations
In areas where soybean planting has been delayed or in double crop systems, producers should consider a few key management practices. Planting soybeans in the right soil conditions is essential for establishing an adequate canopy and improving chances to increase yield potential.
Management adjustments when sowing wheat late
Wheat planting has been progressing across Kansas for a few weeks. For producers that needed to delay planting, there are management adjustments that can be made to help protect the yield potential for this wheat crop. Read more here from K-State wheat specialist Romulo Lollato.
Effect of late planting dates on corn yield
Yields of dryland corn are often related to the conditions at pollination. Yields of late-planted dryland corn can range from 50 to 70% to more than 100% of the highest yield of corn at earlier planting dates, depending on environmental conditions. Late-planted dryland corn does best when conditions are unfavorable (too cool and wet) early, but then become more favorable in mid-summer. On the other hand, yields of late-planted corn typically decrease dramatically when conditions are favorable early in the season, but become hot and dry in mid-summer.
Management adjustments when sowing wheat late
Some producers may have delayed wheat planting for different reasons, including harvesting a summer crop during late October or due to dry soils and waiting for rainfall. Management adjustments can be made to try to compensate for the consequences of late planting.
Considerations for late-planted soybeans
As of June 4, around 80% of soybeans have been planted in Kansas. Where soybean planting has been delayed or in double-crop soybean systems, producers should consider a few key management practices. Factors to consider include maturity group, seeding rate, plant density, and row spacing.
Delayed planting dates and seeding rates for wheat in northwest Kansas
The optimal planting window for wheat has passed for northwest Kansas. Does planting past the optimum date impact the yield potential? Can increased seeding rates compensate if wheat planting is delayed? This article reviews some research in northwest Kansas that helps answer these questions.
Considerations for late-planted soybeans
Producers should consider a few key management practices where soybean planting has been delayed (or in double-crop soybean systems). Also, planting in the right soil conditions is essential for establishing an adequate soybean canopy and improving the chances of increasing the yield potential.
Management adjustments when sowing wheat late
Some producers may have delayed wheat planting for different reasons, including harvesting a summer crop or having dry soils. Although good yields are still possible when planted outside the optimal window, late-planted wheat is often subjected to colder fall temperatures. Some adjustments can be made to compensate for late planting.
