Growing Wheat: Fertility
Fertility can be one of the largest keys to successful yields. New Data proves that fungicide application and nitrogen have a positive response when used

Staging Wheat for Fusarium Control
Peter Johnson discusses how to tell when it’s time to spray for fusarium.
The Impact of Seeding Depth & Nitrogen Application
Phil Needham of Needham Ag Technologies gives Wheat School viewers some insight into the impact seeding depth and nitrogen application can have on winter wheat stands.
The Cover Crop Advantage
Not only does the winter wheat crop itself provide active roots and soil protection for 10 months of the year, wheat stubble after harvest is the perfect choice to establish a cover crop. The cover crop will then provide an additional period of protection until termination before planting the next crop.
Seed Treatments
Originally looked upon as “snake oil” seed treatments have become an integral part of the production system. For the most part many farmers originally had trouble understanding the value because the action was underground.
Fusarium
Fusarium head blight continues to be a major concern for North American farmers. Yield loss can be high and the amount of vomotoxin infection in the grain can cause significant grade loss.
Army Worms
It seems that the amount of pests that can have a negative impact on our wheat fields is never ending. Army worms can cause significant yield loss in a wheat crop and also impact neighboring crops like corn or canola as well.
Powdery Mildew
In more humid climates, powdery mildew can have a real negative impact on your wheat crop. It is actually known as one of the easier diseases to spot but needs to be sprayed with fungicide to ensure proper control.
