Side band? Top dress? Add micros or not? When it comes to wheat production many farmers are looking to closely match crop needs with fertilizer applications, but exactly how to meet those needs brings up a host of questions.
Never fear, as Peter Johnson, cereal specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, is here to set the record straight on the essentials for wheat production.
