Time of sowing and seeding rate in wheat locations
Aims

To measure the effect of time of sowing (TOS) and plant density on wheat varieties with different development habits and maturities.

Key messages
  • The highest yielding treatment in the wheat time of sowing trial at Hart in 2009 was Gladius sown on the 30th of April.
  • Later maturing varieties were best sown in early May.
  • Axe is a good option for sowing in late May.
