WINTER WHEAT CWRW SPECIAL PURPOSE AC Emerson • First wheat to have R rating for fusarium • Excellent lodging resistance • Shorter straw than checks • High test weight and improved protein • Very high grain yield CDC Ptarmigan • Strong straw • High yielding • Awned • Medium maturity • High starch content • Seed Slowly TOP TIPS FOR GROWING WINTER WHEAT Winter wheat performs better if seeded at speeds closer to 4 mph. • Seed Shallow Seeding shallow (1/2 to 1 inch) allows the seed to take advantage of moisture provided by fall rains. Research has shown that as little as 1/3 inch of rain is often enough to successfully establish winter wheat that was seeded shallow. • Seed Heavy The rule of thumb is to seed at 1.75-2.5 bushels per acre. Higher seeding rates create a denser, more uniform stand and are especially important in high moisture areas. Target plant populations of approximately 30-35 plants/ft² are critical to winter survival, crop competitiveness, and yield potential. • Seed Early The optimal seeding window across most of the prairies is between September 1-15. Don’t wait for moisture prior to seeding; winter wheat needs very little moisture to germinate. • Fertility Adequate seed-placed phosphate will aid in the establishment of a healthy winter wheat crop in the fall and increase winter hardiness. Using MicroEssentials SZ has demonstrated higher yields and grain nutrient concentration compared to MAP or a MAP blend. Applying MicroEssentials SZ results in maximum yield and increased nutrient efficiency. P R E C I S I O N A G • SEED G U I D E <strong>2018</strong> • PA G E 15
