Research at Michigan State University is finding some wheat management techniques are helpful to drought-stressed crops.

Soil fertility specialist Kurt Steinke with Michigan State University is studying different nutrient applications.

“We’ve seen some tremendous yield gains and in some cases, grain quality increases with starter fertilizer applied in the fall and that starter specifically focusing on nitrogen and sulfur,” he says.

Steinke tells Brownfield earlier, fall-planted winter wheat usually yields better.
