Don’t pull the plug on dryland wheat yet in Kansas
Agronomist Kent Martin of Kansas State’s Southwest Research Center in Garden City cautions growers not to quit on the 2011 dryland wheat crop in southwest Kansas. He notes the crop is not dead, but growth is slow, with many plants just two to four inches tall and late to develop. He urges timely herbicide and top dressing decisions while moisture and warmth remain uncertain, as irrigated fields fare better and some farmers consider alternatives or hay.
