Abstract
Description
Swathing at the proper stage of grain maturity is important to obtain maximum yields of hard fed spring and durum wheat. Very little research had completed to determine the effect of swathing time on different hard red spring or durum wheat varieties or comparing hard red spring and durum wheat. In response, trials were conducted. The methods and findings are presented. The purpose of these trials was to establish field criteria which can be used to determine proper swathing time, to determine if there were swathing time differences among hard red spring
wheat varieties or between hard red spring wheat and durum, and if there are differences from
year to year. There appeared to be little difference between
hard red spring wheat varieties nor between spring and durum wheat relative to the proper time to swath. This was true each year of the study.
