Managing Global Resources for a Secure Future

Winter wheat seedling establishment and conditions surrounding early growth after planting in the fall and following soil thawing at the onset of spring expected to significantly influence yield and yield components. Measurements at such early stages could help in identifying and correcting crop problem so that target yield can be achieved. One handy method often used in measuring early season wheat ground cover performance is by greenseeker. Here, the relationship of early season greenseeker values to wheat yield, grain protein, and other agronomic traits are evaluated. The potential of using Greenseeker in early season crop evaluation to performance to potential discussed.
