Wheat certification urged to boost Kansas yields
Kansas State University officials warn that less than five percent of Kansas wheat acreage uses certified seed, risking gains from better varieties and practices. Research at Kansas State shows certified seed outperforms non certified seed due to better germination and vigor, while many farmers plant self supplied seed with low germination. Experts advocate buying certified seed to ensure quality and higher protein potential with educational efforts to promote premiums for protein.
