Many thanks to Neil Gottschalk & Brandon Riedel for putting out the wheat demonstration plot. A good resource is “Wheat Variety Disease and Insect Ratings– MF991” publication that is updated yearly, it will be posted on our web site as well, click onto Crops and Livestock, and look under Hot Topics. Each grower may differ some in what is most important to them and may add other considerations not mentioned. Yield should not be the only consideration in your selection, and multiple years of data should be considered. Some other important considerations are stripe & leaf rust resistance, drought tolerance, winter hardiness, straw strength, shattering reputation, maturity and test weight.
These results from the K-State Agricultural Experiment Stations can also be found on our web site. Replicated field trials will account for or smooth out the variability within a field, and thus are more accurate. They are randomized replicated trials, meaning each variety is randomly planted in 4 different spots in the field, all seed is either foundation or registered.
Instead I would highly encourage growers to make your variety selection decisions based on the K-State Agricultural Experiment Stations replicated wheat performance tests.

To see the full yield results and details of the cultural practices go to our web site at demonstration wheat plot should not be used solely for making your variety selection decisions, it is more for showing and talking about the varieties each year at the field day. Most demonstration plots are also harvested.
Learn more about ESN here.Typically, wheat growers will keep back enough of their wheat seed to plant again, but also they may be looking to replace a variety in an effort to reduce seed borne diseases, and to improve genetics for various factors including but not limited to yield and disease prevention.Įach year many county agents put out wheat variety demonstration plots and conduct field days to view and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of varieties and wheat production issues. ESN has a protective polymer coating which releases nitrogen to your crops when they need it, in response to soil temperature. When making your nitrogen decision, consider a nitrogen source that protects against all three of these loss mechanisms like ESN Smart Nitrogen®. Nitrogen can be lost to leaching, denitrification, and volatilization at any time, which is exacerbated by volatile weather often seen in the spring. Make sure your soil tests and nutrient prescriptions address more than just the “big three.” Read more on the 17 essential nutrients needed by plants here.Īre you losing your valuable nutrient investment to environmental loss mechanisms? Nitrogen is often one of a grower’s largest investments and may be one of the greatest losses if applied conventionally. Plants typically require them in smaller amounts, but secondary and micronutrients are essential to plant functions like nutrient absorption, photosynthesis, structural integrity and increasing yields. Products include crop protection products, fertilizer, nutritionals and seed. While the three macronutrients are undoubtedly essential to plant growth, the role of secondary and micronutrients is equally vital.

Resolution #2: Look Beyond Just N, P and K Keep records of your soil samples so you can effectively benchmark and analyze trends. It is recommended to take soil samples around the same time each year to ensure accurate year-over-year results, with sampling occurring in the fall if possible for the most accurate results. Soil fertility experts recommend a composite sample of no fewer than 15-20 soil cores that represent no fewer than 20 acres. While you may have many different goals for your business – increase profit, make new equipment purchases, implement new processes to increase efficiency – we zeroed in on a few New Year’s resolutions to help improve your nutrient stewardship practices.Ĭonducting soil tests at the right time is crucial to an efficient and effective nutrient stewardship strategy. The beginning of a new year is an ideal time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and set goals for growth and improvement for the coming year.
