Wheat's On Your Mind

WOYM – Wheat: Beyond the Value of the Grain, Part 2


Listen Later

We explore how winter wheat contributes to improved crop yields, soil moisture conservation, and effective weed and disease management, drawing from K-State's long-term studies that demonstrate the benefits of winter wheat in enhancing the productivity and sustainability of cropping systems in Kansas.

Aaron Harries and Dr. Romulo Lollato discuss:

Yield Boosts: Discover how rotating crops with winter wheat can significantly increase yields for sorghum (up to 30 bushels more per acre!) and corn (around 15 bushels more).

Moisture Magic: Learn how wheat residue helps keep precious soil moisture, giving your next crops a head start.

Weed & Disease Control: See how wheat residue naturally fights weeds, even tough ones like Palmer amaranth, thanks to its allelopathic properties.

Soil Health: Find out how wheat residue protects against erosion and improves your soil's overall health.
