Crop Rotation
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4384
Plant wheat following soybeans. A three-year rotation of corn-soybean-wheat appears to be optimum for sustained yield of all three crops. Crop rotation is the most effective method to reduce pathogen populations that affect the three crops in the sequence ...

Land Selection and Preparation
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4385
Wheat grows well in a range of soil types; however, well-drained soils with medium to fine texture produce the highest yields in Ohio. Adequate drainage is essential; thus, tiling poorly drained fields is important. Plan the crop-rotation sequence far eno ...

Planting Date
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4386
Avoid planting wheat prior to the fly-safe date because of the possibility of early establishment of foliar fungal diseases and severe damage by barley yellow dwarf virus and Hessian fly (Figure 6.1). The best time for seeding is a 10-day period starting ...

Seeding Practices
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4387
When planting at the proper time and into soil that is not too wet, seed should be planted 1.5 inches deep. Row width should be 6 to 8 inches. Planting by bushels per acre is very inaccurate due to variability in seed size from year to year and from one v ...

Fertilization
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4389
A successful soil fertility program for wheat requires knowledge of a field’s yield potential and a recent soil test. The soil test will provide current levels of phosphorus and potassium in the soil and the soil pH. Soil pH will assist in determining the ...

Nutrient Value of Wheat Straw
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4390
The nutrient value of wheat straw is influenced by several factors, including weather, variety, and cultural practices. Thus, the most accurate value requires sending a straw sample to an analytical laboratory. However, book values can be used to estimate ...

Insect Control
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4392
Several different insects can be important on wheat in Ohio. Management of insect pests affecting wheat often emphasizes nonchemical control measures. Hessian fly is controlled primarily by delaying planting until late September or early October (e.g., th ...

Weed Control
https://agcrops.osu.edu/node/4393
Wheat competes well with weeds, especially when good production techniques result in an initial uniform stand establishment and when loss of stand due to winter injury is minimal. Effective weed control and prevention of weed seed production in prior crop ...
