The yield potential of winter wheat established in a dry seedbed and at different seeding depths

G. P. Lafond, William E. May, B. Irvine

Abstract

The growth habit of winter wheat offers unique benefits in prairie cropping systems. Successful production requires early seeding, usually into a dry seed bed. Seeding date and seeding depth effects were investigated under three very contrasting weather scenarios. Risk in dry years on the Canadian prairies was reduced when winter wheat was seeded shallow (<25 mm) and early (beginning of September). Key words: Triticum aestivum L., fall climatic conditions, establishment, plant stand
