Late feeding of wheat has been recommended as the only practical method of combatting the Hessian Fly.

High quality wheat and larger yields result from using 300 to 500 pounds per acre of suitable fertilizer, boosting plump kernels and profits.
Chicago Board reports millers will pay higher prices per bushel for top quality wheat used in milling. Buyers award premiums for grades above standard numbers, incentivizing growers to supply superior wheat over grade four or five.

Myron A. Bachtell of Ohio State University Extension advises a 3-12 fertilizer mix containing 3 percent nitrogen and 12 percent phosphoric acid applied at 200 to 300 pounds per acre when no manure is added.
