The most important tests and nutrients to focus on this year depends in part on where you are located, the choices you make when applying N, and your tillage system.
Wheat planting isn’t far away in parts of Kansas, so now is the time to get your soil sampling done to have good information on which to base your fertilizer inputs, says Kansas State University Extension in part 1 of a two-article series on winter wheat fertilizer management.
Many winter wheat fields were seeded late last fall because of rainfall at normal planting time, resulting in stands that aren't as competitive with weeds, and younger plants that can be more susceptible to herbicide injury. Here are some management tips from Nebraska Extension for this scenario.
Darren Nelson, who raised 108.5-bushel winter wheat in 2015 to win first place in the Kansas Wheat Yield Contest, shares how he manages fertilizer applications and uses grid sampling to his advantage.
Hutchinson, Kan., no-tiller Darren Nelson discusses the tramline system he’s set up on his John Deere air seeder to manage traffic in his no-tilled fields. The system is made by Tram-Rite Tramlines in Fredericksburg, Va., and is housed in an old toolbox mounted to the chassis to hold the air tank, compressor and valve system.
Predicting the optimum nitrogen rate for wheat is difficult, but Michigan State University Extension offers some considerations that may help growers determine a reasonable estimate.
University of Kentucky Ag Extension shares whether a fall nitrogen application to wheat will provide a yield advantage and some guidelines for making an application.
If wheat is planted at a 1-inch depth and swine or dairy manure is surface applied, there should be no problem applying 4,000 or 5,000 gallons per acre of manure, says Ohio State University Extension.
The Kentucky Small Grains Growers Association looked at seed treatments, foliar products and soil-applied products to determine if any would provide a positive impact on wheat yields.
