Book excerpt: Wheat serves three very important roles to producers in Texas and many states in the Great Plains. First, wheat is used as a cool season forage crop for livestock grazing. Second, wheat serves as a grain only crop. Third, wheat is used as both a forage and grain crop in the same season and is commonly referred to as a dual-use or dual-purpose crop. Previous research has demonstrated that planting date can significantly affect the success of these various production strategies. When wheat is planted early, more forage will be available for livestock; conversely, a delayed planting date should achieve a higher grain yield. The objective of this research was to determine the optimum seeding rate as planting date changes for wheat as a grain-only and dual-purpose crop in central Texas. Six different planting dates were evaluated starting with a target date of September 1st and having 14 d intervals between each planting date. Seeding rates were 34, 67, 101, and 135 kg ha-1 for Agri-Pro Cutter wheat variety. Results from the three year study showed that planting date had the greatest impact on forage and grain yields. Higher seeding rates maximized grain yields at the later planting dates, while lower seeding rates yielded higher for the earlier dates. Forage yields were maximized when planted prior to October 1st, while grain yields were maximized at the mid-October to early-November dates. This research study demonstrated that producers could lower their seeding rates to between 34 and 67 kg ha-1 without sacrificing grain and season-long forage yields.

Download or read book The Effects of Tillage Systems and Seeding Dates on Grain Yields of Wheat Triticum Aestivum Vill Host on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey written by Thomas G. Zinn and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the major food crop produced on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey where due to limited rainfall the farmers follow the traditional system of fallow farming. They are presently producing an average of 1.15 tons of grain per hectare during the crop year. This rate of production does not meet the needs of the country and during the last 15-20 years Turkey has frequently had to import wheat. The present fallow system permits extensive livestock grazing during the late fall and winter months in the noncrop year. Spring tillage practices are delayed to permit weed growth for additional foraging by livestock during the early and late spring period. This delayed spring tillage, using wooden or steel plows, leaves the soil loose and subject to rapid drying. Little plant residue is left on the surface to protect the soil and maintain water infiltration rates. The farmer also must cultivate several times before planting in order to prepare a satisfactory seedbed. Under these conditions Turkish farmers have learned that seed planted early in the fall in dry, warm soil may be germinated by light rain, subsequently dry out and then die. Thus, they have over time adopted the practice of delaying planting until late fall when temperatures are cooler and frequent rains more certain. Under these conditions the crop is largely dependent upon late spring and early summer rains for satisfactory grain production. Climate in dryland regions of Oregon and Washington are similar to those in the Anatolian Plateau. Previous research conducted on the Anatolian Plateau indicated that modified technology from Oregon and Washington could be adopted to Turkish conditions resulting in substantial increases in grain yield. The objective of this study was to compare three fallow-tillage systems for moisture conservation and early vs. late seeding dates on subsequent grain yield of wheat. The tillage treatments were (1) a fall chisel operation followed by a spring chisel tillage, (2) chiselling twice in the spring in perpendicular directions, and (3) moldboard plowing in the spring. All three systems received subsequent tillages with a sweep-harrow combination as required to maintain a weedfree fallow and uniform seedbed. The amount of moisture conserved was not affected by the three tillage systems employed and grain yield was not different due to tillage method. All of the systems conserved sufficient water to allow early seeding into residual moisture with a deep furrow drill. A 94 per cent stand emerged within 15 days. At a later sowing date wheat was seeded into dry soil using a double disc drill. Emergence was delayed due to late rains. After 56 days an 89 per cent stand had emerged. In this experiment a 36 per cent grain yield increase resulted from early seeding; 3.79 tons per hectare compared to 2.79 tons per hectare from the late seeded plots, a highly significant difference. The 3.79 tons per hectare is 2.64 tons per hectare more than the average yield from local farms, where a traditional fallow system is followed. The major components contributing to the yield increases from early seeding were (1) more plants and heads per unit area, (2) more kernels per head and to a lesser degree (3) kernel weight. This study suggests that if Turkish farmers adopt improved summer fallow systems, wheat yields can be increased significantly; thus, reducing or perhaps eliminating the need for importing wheat. However, the loss of grazing land under a clean fallow system for livestock will need to be evaluated in terms of the total economic and social conditions to determine if the increased wheat yields warrant the change in farming practices. It is anticipated that the loss of forage during the fallow period would be offset by the increase of stubble and cereal aftermath as a result of grain yield increase during the cropping sequence.
