Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Seeding rate determines the first yield component of field crops, which is the plant population. However, wheat is less responsive to plant populations than other crops due to the high plasticity in tillering potential, and this responsiveness depends on resource availability. The objective of this project was to evaluate winter wheat popu­lation, grain yield, and grain test weight responses to seeding rate and its interaction with variety in a highly managed production system where manageable stresses were limited. Experiments evaluating the response of the wheat varieties ‘Joe,’ ‘WB-Grain­field,’ ‘Langin,’ and ‘LCS Revere’ to seeding rates ranging from 200,000–1,000,000 seeds per …

The objective of this project was to evaluate winter wheat stand count and grain yield responses to the interactions among seeding rate, seed cleaning, and seed treatment in the state of Kansas during the 2018–2019 growing season. Experiments evaluating the response of the wheat variety “SY Monument” to three seeding rates (600,000, 900,000, and 1,200,000 seeds per acre), three seed cleaning intensities (none, air screen, and gravity table), and two seed treatments (none and insecticide + fungicide) were estab­lished in a split-split plot design conducted in a complete factorial experiment at seven Kansas locations. In-season measurements included stand count, grain …
