In the Southern Hemisphere a winter-wheat crop fully 'completes' in a year's time before harvest. Winter wheat usually yields more than spring wheat. So-called "facultative" wheat varieties need shorter periods of vernalization time (15–30 days) and temperatures of 3 to 15 °C (37 to 59 °F). In many areas facultative varieties can be grown ...
The exported wheat varieties are hard red winter, white wheat (about 66%), Hard Red Spring (about 50%), Soft Red Winter, and durum wheat. However, the producers continue to increase exports as in the domestic market wheat products have not been competitive in recent years. [14]
The Golden Triangle of Montana is a folk region in the northern plains of Montana, United States, renowned for its extensive wheat farming. Situated between the cities of Shelby, Great Falls, and Havre, this area encompasses some of the most productive agricultural land in the state.
Chouteau County is the state's largest winter wheat producer. [11] It is located in the heart of the "Golden Triangle", which produces about 45% of Montana's annual wheat crop. [ 12 ]
Einkorn is a short variety of wild wheat, usually less than 70 centimetres (28 in) tall and is not very productive of edible seeds. [5] The principal difference between wild einkorn and cultivated einkorn is the method of seed dispersal. In the wild variety the seed head usually shatters and drops the kernels (seeds) of wheat onto the ground. [1]
Winter wheat generally produces up to 15 leaves per shoot and spring wheat up to 9 [12] and winter crops may have up to 35 tillers (shoots) per plant (depending on cultivar). [ 12 ] Wheat roots are among the deepest of arable crops, extending as far down as 2 metres (6 ft 7 in). [ 13 ]
Winter wheat at the end of March. Winter cereals, also called winter grains, fall cereals, fall grains, or autumn-sown grains, are biennial cereal crops sown in the autumn.They germinate before winter comes, may partially grow during mild winters or simply persevere under a sufficiently thick snow cover to continue their life cycle in spring.
Agropyron cristatum is best adapted to dry rangeland conditions and is most frequently found in such circumstances. It prefers from 23 to 38 cm of precipitation per year, [6] but can tolerate more moisture on favourable sites, extending its range into tundra and taiga conditions [7] and elevations up to 2000 m above sea level in the southern portions of its adapted area.
