NEMO | Exactly on the lemonade part! People said the vomitoxin wheat wouldn't grow. I cranked the fan up on the combine to blow the lighter infected wheat out the back hoping for a better sample last year. By the end of summer It was obvious it would grow!
So far this experiment worked this year, so maybe got lucky. Being dry, the beans didn't get taller than the wheat. Might be different in a wetter year. I don't think I clipped the top of many beans, but time will tell. Final verdict will be when the beans get cut.
Broadcasting 3+ bushel of wheat made the stand really thick and the fertilized wheat got really tall. I think this was beneficial in two ways. The wheat that didn't get knocked down when planting was still plenty of wheat to make yield. Wheat being tall and thick the beans didn't get much light, so maybe took longer to get going, but they were definitely spindly. | |
