We'll very likely have a short head on this crop--so unless we get some late-season tillering, it'll probably be tough to get a respectable yield. The range of yield loss from winterkill in the study depended on growing conditions in the spring when tillering occurred and during the grain-filling period, Witt says. If stands are thin, another application of nitrogen equal to and applied between the two applications cited earlier will usually increase plant growth, tillering and potential yield. |
