Six fall practices to reduce Nebraska wheat risks says agronomist
University Extension agronomist Swinbank outlines six fall practices to protect Nebraska wheat. They include planting at local optimum dates, using regionally suitable varieties, preparing a firm weed-free seedbed, fertilizing per soil tests, planting deep into moist soil, and destroying volunteer wheat after hail-damaged fields to curb wheat streak mosaic and winterkill. He notes early planting worsened disease and winter killing in 1963 and explains how elevation and moisture influence ideal dates.
