Ec77-122 Wheat Kernel Damage, Kim Anderson
Ec77-122 Wheat Kernel Damage, Kim Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
There are eight classes of wheat: Durum wheat, Hard Red Spring wheat, Hard Red Winter wheat, Soft Red Winter wheat, Hard White wheat, Soft White wheat, Unclassed wheat, and Mixed wheat.
This publication discusses the principal wheat kernel damage: germ (sick and mold); heat; black tip fungus; blight or scab; green (immature), sprout, insect and insect chewed; frost (blistered, candied, flaked, and discolored black or brown). It also discusses special grades: infested, ergoty, garlicky, light smutty; smutty, treated, dockage, shrunken and broken kernels, foreign material, and test weight per bushel.

The grain required to balance a ration high in corn silage is much different from the grain needed when feeding high amounts of alfalfa hay. The most common problem is failure to properly balance for protein and calcium. This NebGuide discusses the points to take into account in balancing rations high in corn silage.

Starter fertilizer may increase early growth of corn and grain sorghum. Grain yield increases from starter nutrients are most likely on low phosphorus soils and some sandy soils.
Proper use of a starter fertilizer is an important management tool for crop producers striving for top yields. While the use of a starter fertilizer can be important for crop production on many soils, it is more important for corn production on irrigated sandy soils than on fine textured soils.
