Agronomy Extension Agent
Lebanon County
The 1998 season has officially started with
most producers awaiting soil conditions favoring
field activities. One crop that demands attention
is the small grain crops. This article will offer
some suggestions on assessing stands, applying
nitrogen and other important information related
to small grains.
Winter wheat and winter barley will need a
timely application of nitrogen to induce tillering
by the plants. I checked a few fields and noticed
that tillering has begun. In addition, populations
look ideal forecasting a possible high yielding
crop.
Producers can check their own fields by simply
walking and pulling a few plants. First pull a few
and determine the stage of growth. One should
consult the “Penn State Agronomy Guide” for
specifics on staging. The important point is to be
able to identify when the plant tillers. This can be
observed by pulling a plant and looking for a stem
or stems emerging from the main plant crown.
Once the plant begins to tiller an application of
nitrogen will cause the plant to produce multiple
tillers, further ensuring a 1.2-1.5 million plant
stand and filling in where plants might have died
over winter or been eaten by some animal or bird.
The next item while in the field one should
note is population. To determine populations
simply measure 1 foot in several areas and count
the number of plants. Once you have a count for
several areas average the count to get the average
number of plants per foot Wheat and barley re
quite 19 plants per foot in 7-inch row spacing, 22
in 8-inch row spacing, and 27 in 1 Clinch row
spacing.
Compare the results from the field with these
figures and this will determine the urgency of get
ting nitrogen on the Held or to abandon the stand.
If the plants per foot are low @ 14 in 7-inch rows,
then an application should be made immediately
to stimulate tillering. One may also refer to the
agronomy guide for more information on assess
ing plant stands.
Weeds are starting to grow and while produc
ers are in the field they should check for emer
gence and presence of weeds. I observed many
species of winter annuals such as chick weed,
henbit, and pennycress present Also, I observed
bull thistle (biannual) in the rosette stage. One
weed I was looking for was Canada thistle and I
did not see any up out of the ground. This is im
portant because if a producer decides to put a
herbicide in with the nitrogen and apply it this
early many weeds may not be present and emerge
later and, hence, cause yield loss.
Since tillering lasts until growth stage three

(three tillers formed), producers with little weed
emergence at this time may choose to wait a cou
ple of weeks before applying nitrogen and herbi
cide as a tank mix.
Besides the timing of nitrogen on wheat and
barley the amount is critical. Too much and the
crop could lodge, too little and yield will suffer.
Penn State recommends the following nitrogen
rates:
Small Grain Manure history
1-2 years 3-4 years None
Wheat 0.30 Ib/acre 30-60 Ib/acre 60-90 Ib/acre
Barley q
If soybeans were grown last year and rotated toy
wheat crop producers need to account for the ad-1
didonal nitrogen supplied from the soybeans I
usually 1 pound per bushel of soybeans harvested
the previous season. For example if 40 bushels
were harvested last year and the required total ni- i
trogen requirement for a wheat crop is 90
then the total nitrogen needed to be top dressed ;
would be 60 pounds (90-40), The source of nitre-■'l
gen used will vary on the specific system the pro-J
ducer employs. Mixtures of liquid nitrogen M
28-0-0 mixes with liquid ammonium sulfate'l
8-0-0-8 or a half and half mix of dry urea 46-0-0 ,
and ammonium sulfate 21-0-0 has proved to en- ,
hance yields in wheat and barley. Local plant j
food suppliers are able to provide any mix pro-i |
ducers request Producers should work with local j
dealers to develop the proper mix and rate for the .J
small grain fields. i
Small grains are an excellent option for pro
ducers farming drought-prone soils. Yields of 90
bushels or more of wheat and barley or 6 tons per
acre of silage may be obtained in rotation with
soybeans to offset drought problems because of
the likelihood of rains in the spring when small
grains need moisture and soybeans which need
rain in early fall when rains again become pre
dictable. Those not currently raising small grains
should consider this versatile crop.
High yielding small grains may be obtained by
assessing stands and adjusting nitrogen applica
tion times to promote tillering, managing weed
problems, and supplying just the right amount of
nitrogen for expected yield, maintaining a 6.5 pH
or better on soils, and monitoring disease poten
tial in late spring. By following some simple prin
ciples, producers can maintain profitability in
farming.
