Consejos de cultivo
Winter wheat (planted in fall) typically yields 20-30% more than spring wheat in temperate climates due to longer growing season.
Apply nitrogen at tillering stage (Zadoks GS 25) for maximum tiller production and grain fill — split applications outperform single doses.
Wheat requires vernalization (4-8 weeks of cold) to trigger flowering — winter varieties need this cold period for proper development.
Scout for wheat rust weekly during warm, humid conditions — early fungicide application prevents yield losses of 20-40%.
Harvest at 13-14% grain moisture for optimal storage quality. Higher moisture leads to spoilage; lower moisture increases shatter loss.
Rotate wheat with legumes (peas, lentils) to break disease cycles and naturally replenish soil nitrogen.
