Wheat School: Plant winter

Planting winter wheat on time is the most cost effective way to increase winter wheat yields in Ontario. That's the key message Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs cereals specialist Joanna Follings has for growers as winter wheat planting gets underway in the province. "Timely planting is so so critical to optimizing your yields. And it costs you nothing. By getting that wheat planted on time, (even) a week earlier, you're able to optimize and maximize your yield potential." On this episode of the RealAgriculture Wheat School we catch up with Follings at the C&M Seeds Industry Day where she and NK agronomist Emma Dieleman shared planting tips for growers.  Dieleman, a recent University of Guelph graduate, shared some of her research on the impacts of different timings for planting winter wheat. The research looked at four different planting timings at Ridgetown (Sept 23, Oct 10, Oct. 27 and Nov. 15) and Exeter (Sept 18, Oct. 2, Oct. 16, and Nov.1). In the study, the timings are referred to as early, mid-early, mid-late and late. "What we found was that we are maximizing our yields at early planting dates," says Dieleman. "We saw that at all of our site years — you're gonna get your highest yields at the early planting dates." The results show that, at planting, growers can expect 100 per cent of their maximum yield when planting early; 95 to 100 per cent when planting mid-early; 75 to 80 per cent at mid-late; and 65 to 80 percent when planting late.
