Farmers and many others have always told me winter wheat has to have a dormant period. I say it just needs a given period of specific temps to met vernalization. Seems to me that it grows any time the plant is around +40 degrees and does not stop because it is dormant. I have been growing wheat for 60 years and graduated from an Okla A&M University.
Winter wheat during the winter is not in a true dormant state. The wheat plant is still respiring, and the roots may be still growing as long as the ground is not frozen. If fact, it's not uncommon to see a more developed crown root system at the end of winter compared to the beginning. Also, if we get prolonged warm periods during the winter, we might see some above-ground growth. The plants do need to go through a cold period (vernalization) as you mentioned. This is needed to promote floral development.
I wondered if the theory mentioned in the video about the inverse proportion between soil temperature and coleoptile length is still valid. if it is still valid, i'd request you to guide lead me to the research that proves it. additionally, if it is not valid now, i'd request you to lead me to the research which proved this theory for coleoptile. i am aware that it is an old video, but i still hope to receive a response.
Yes. There is a little bit about it on our Dual Purpose Wheat fact sheet. extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/dual-purpose-wheat-management-for-forage-and-grain-production.html
This may be old, but the most informative and descriptive video I found on the topic👍
Thank you for your efforts and educating like us people
Who does not know about wheat farming
This is video is helpful to everyone who is interested in wheat phenology. Thank you.
Well done sir and well explained…

Thank you it is really useful
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing
Well explained
what will be the role of photoprotective pigments in developing green seed of wheat for heat tolerance
What to do if it rains before emergence?
Oh its similar like a corn during thir vegetative stage of growth but differ thier leaves ,,,
Does each tiller yield one seed head?
They have the capacity to produce a wheat head. Whether they do is based on environmental factors.

0:44 subtitle mistake: it's vernelization, not fertilization
How many months the wheat harvested ?
He said vernalization though? And I'm not even a native speaker
im just here for myy geography homework :|
We are glad to help!
@@okstate_ag It really was helpful :)
disgusting winter wheat?
