Sanilac Co. Michigan | I don't know, I think population control makes a difference throughout the wheat's various stages. Even when I clean and sow my own bin run seed, I take a few random samples in order to calculate seeds/pound. Bu./a just don't tell me much and #/a means nothing if I don't have a notion of seed count. Case in point, I've had quite a bit of soft white seed below 10,000/#, sometimes well below. Contrast that with some that run nearly half again more/# and its pretty easy to cripple your plans for high yield wheat before it leaves the starting gate.
An inadvertently thin stand sown later means not enough time to produce sufficient numbers of fall tillers and will have to rely on spring tillers to fill out the stand. Problem is spring tillers typically aren't as productive as fall tillers. Kind of hobbles the potential. | |
