Best Management Practices for Implementing Ultra-Early Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Growing Systems on the Northern Great Plains
DownloadSpring 2023
Ultra-early planting of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) between soil temperatures of 0°C and 7.5°C on the northern Great Plains allows the exploitation of longer growing seasons and the avoidance of the onset of extreme heat later in the season during sensitive physiological growth stages,...
