Kansas State University Extension shares some considerations and cautions for growers thinking about planting winter wheat early, including potential issues with wheat streak mosaic, barley yellow dwarf disease and excessive fall tillering.

Greenbug and Hessian fly infestations can significantly reduce wheat yield and quality, but breeding for resistance to these two pests using marker-assisted selection just got a new tool from a Texas A&M AgriLife Research study.

Ohio State University Extension answers whether growers can plant wheat after wheat, whether there are varieties with good scab resistance, and other important considerations for planting wheat.

Using wheat or other small grains as a cover crop is a common choice, but brings a concern that is easily overlooked: Hessian fly.

Volunteer wheat can cause wheat streak mosaic virus complex and barley yellow dwarf virus in new wheat, as well as support pest populations and reduce soil moisture content.

Kansas State University shares which wheat fields are most likely to be infested with Hessian fly this fall and best practices to prevent an infestation from occurring.

With wheat planting beginning, it is wise to consider two insect pest concerns for this fall crop: Hessian fly and aphids.

Recent rains in Kansas will cause some Hessian fly adults to begin emerging from the oversummering flaxseed.

High-yielding varieties coupled with ideal no-till growing conditions can turn an average crop into a record season.
