Stubble wheat
Stubble wheat is the technical term for wheat cultivation with the previous crop wheat.
Depending on the growing conditions in autumn, stubble wheat sown early can be superior to leaf fruit wheat . Leaf fruit wheat refers to wheat cultivation after beet, potato or rapeseed previous crop. The rule, however, is that due to the better health of the leaf fruit wheat, around 1 ton of yield per hectare is better.
When growing stubble wheat, it is important to select a comparatively disease-resistant variety. In addition, the culture-specific nutrients ( potassium , manganese , phosphorus ) must be readily available. The straw of the previous crop should be cleared if possible, since a straw rotting needs nitrogen and intensive stubble cultivation . The most important diseases in stubble wheat cultivation are DTR leaf drought and black -leggedness .
The main reasons for growing stubble wheat are economic:
- Thanks to the early sowing , work peaks can be straightened out, agricultural machinery can be better utilized and seed quantities can be saved.
- Compared to winter barley , triticale and winter rye , stubble wheat usually brings higher yields. In addition, the producer prices for these alternative cereals were mostly lower.
