Ashburn, GA, (very close to Heaven!) | Wheat, at least in south Georgia, requires preplant nitrogen for top yields. As for more northern latitudes, the varieties they grow, and, for SRWW, I can believe that wheat may not respond to fall N, not sure, but believe it could be so. Somebody mentioned the N in DAP, and that counts in Kentucky. The key to fall N down here is that we need to stimulate enough growth to stimulate a fall and winter tillering. Our wheat is finished by about May 5th, give or take 10 days, and we are picking by May 18, give or take 10 days. To make that crop and establish that stand ahead of winter weeds, we have to apply N in the fall. Behind sorghum, cotton, and corn, we go about 40 lbs, behind peanuts 20, and behind soybeans 30.

Ky doesn't recommend any N on wheat in fall?
