  • Wheat

Wheat

Triticum aestivum
Cool season, drought tolerant annual grass typically grown as a grain. Widely adapted to most soils and sites. Tolerates wet soils better than Barley (Hordeum vulgare) and Oats (Avena sativa), but is less tolerant of poorly drained soils than Cereal rye (Secale cereale) and Triticale (T. aestivum x Secale cereale). Excellent winter hardiness and can be sown later in the fall than barley. Suited to irrigated or dryland production. Plants grazed in winter continue forage production in the spring. Forage yields lower than triticale under irrigation. Also cut for hay or silage. Plant alone or in blends with annual legumes or brassicas for increased yield and soil enhancement. Winter and spring varieties available; reduced awn varieties are preferred forage.
