1. High Yield Wheat Management StudiesInterest in high yield wheat management (i.e. intensive wheat management) has increased in Kentucky during the last few years. This interest has been created because of the improved yield potential of newer soft red winter wheat varieties, high yields obtained in inten- sive wheat management research in other states, and the high yields being obtained in Europe with their intensive management inputs. In several of the European countries, average winter wheat yields of 70 bu/acre or higher are common... |
2. Nitrogen Recommendations for Wheat using the Chlorophyll MeterThe use of a hand held chlorophyll meter showed good promise in helping to make N recommendations for wheat on a field basis. Using 5 site-years on well drained soils over a 2- year period, a correlation index (R2) of 0.88 was found relating the March (Feekes 5) N needed for optimum yield with a differential chlorophyll reading. Research on this method will be continued and expanded to field trials. Soils in less than a well drained class may require a separate calibration or the method may not be... |
