Plastic Coated
Wheat Shows
Variable Results
The plastic coat for spring
wheat seed, which was develop-
ed in Manitoba, is being tested
here in Ontario. Such seed is
designed to be planted in the
fall, and expected to survive
the winter and germinate in
the early spring when favorable
weather conditions prevail.
The special plastic coat is brok-
en by the action of frost in the
ground.
Robert Jenkinson of the Crops
Division, Ridgetown College,
reports that some of the plastic -
coated seed started to germin-
ate in early March. Since
then, however, it has remained
in the ground and has rotted.
Mr. Jenkinson adds that because
the ground had packed down
during the winter, the wheat
would have had difficulty em-
erging even if it had remained
in good condition. Normal
spring wheat seed was planted
on April 9, and has already
started to sprout. Thus, says
Mr. Jenkinson, even if the
plastic -coated seed does emerge
it will not be in advance of the
wheat planted in the spring.
Dr. C , S. Baldwin, Head of
the Soils Division at Ridgetown,
reports that about half of the
plastic -coated spring wheat
seed that was planted in the
Tilbury area last fall has emer-
ged.
Dr. Baldwin feels it is poss-
ible that the soil in the Tilbury
area is more like the soil found
in the Red River Valley area of
Manitoba, where a fair degree
of success has been achieved
with plastic -coated spring wheat.
