Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, April 13, 1994 - Page 23 Time to check out wheat fields The wheat fields are starting to green up, and may of you will be trying to decide whether the stand is strong enough to keep. Most. fields will have suffered some winterkill, and assessing the damage is seldom simple. The first thing to look at is the number of living plants in the field. A four-year study • of wheat yield versus population found that anything more than ten plants per foot of row gave full yields, and even six plants per foot of row produced 90 per cent of full yield. • A thin stand can compensate somewhat by producing more tillers and larger heads, but this assumes that all the living plants are healthy and evenly spaced. If the remaining plants are weakened by disease, the yield losses will be much greater. A thin stand will also suffer from weed .competition if herbicides are not used to control them. The second factor to consider iS the pattern of winterkill. Often FBruce County OMAF ARM REPORT small patches of a field are killed out, • but the remaining stand 4s good. 'In this case, the decision to destroy a field is. more often based on appearances than economics. If damage is limited to one part of the field, it may be worthwhile to work up that part of the field and leave the rest. Of course, if a third of the field is killed out in patches scat- tered through the whole field; it will not be worth keeping the crop. When you are trying to assess 'how much of the field is damaged, it is often better to 'get a neighbor to have a look at it. We tend to see only the dead - patches when) we look at our own fields, while a neighbor can usually be more ob- jective. , If your field is borderline, think about. what the alternate crops might be. If the field would be planted to corn or canola if the wheat is torn up, it is probably worth spreading the nitrogen early. This may give the crop the boost it needs to get going, and if the stand is still inadequate on May 1, the nitrogen can still be used by the subsequent crop.
