Safe Seeding Dates for Winter Wheat Announced
Iowa extension entomologist Harold Gunderson warns that Hessian fly damage to winter wheat peaks in fall and spring broods. In Muscatine County the safe seeding date is September 24, 1963. He advises destroying volunteer wheat before then, preparing seed beds, using tolerant varieties Ottawa Panco or Pawnee, and planting after the date to lessen loss.
