Evaluate wheat seed size to improve wheat seeding density and final stand
Learn the importance of evaluating wheat seed size to ensure the target seed density and optimum final stand.
Effect of heat and drought during grain fill on wheat seed quality
Wheat that has been stressed by drought and extreme heat can have seed quality concerns. Drought conditions were prolonged in many areas of Kansas through most of the winter and spring in 2022, causing stress to plants through early grain filling stages. In addition, extreme heat occurred during the four-day period of May 9-12, which coincided with boot, flowering, pollination, and early grain fill stages depending on the area within Kansas.
