Performance of Hard Red Winter Wheat in Late-Planted No-Till Fallow

Larry Lutcher, Donald Wysocki and, M. Flowers (September, 2012)

Summary

Soft white winter wheat is grown almost exclusively throughout the Pacific Northwest, except in the low-precipitation zone of north-central Oregon and south-central Washington. In this region, hard red winter wheat (HRWW) is an attractive option because growers can usually achieve minimum grain protein goals, which increase market value, without applying cost-prohibitive quantities of nitrogen fertilizer.
