Check Wheat for Freeze Damage

 

Multiple nights of below-freezing temperatures recently have put some winter wheat at risk.

 

If the growing point of wheat was exposed for a long enough time there may have been damage. K-State Wheat Production Specialist Romulo Lollato says you will need to sample the fields for damage.

 

Lollato says wheat does have the capacity to re-tiller, so if the primary tillers were injured by a freeze, the plant can still recover and be productive, as long as there is favorable weather ahead.
