Studies on the effects of planting dates and rates on Spring Wheat and Barley

With much of our spring wheat yet to be seeded, some questions have been raised regarding recommendations for planting rates and how these late seeding dates are going to affect yield and quality. In 2007 and 2008, a study was conducted at the Western Triangle Research Center in Conrad, MT. The study looked at three different planting dates and three different planting rates for both barley and spring wheat. Results of the study can be found at http://www.sarc.montana.edu/documents/mwbc/2008/WT08SeedDate.pdf

The study was also conducted in 2010 and those results can be found at http://ag.montana.edu/wtarc/Web2010/PlantingDatexRate.pdf.
