Preliminary grain yield results for our fall-planted common wheat, triticale, durum wheat and barley trials are now available on the UC Small Grains Research and Information Center website: http://smallgrains.ucanr.
Common chickweed (Stellaria media) (Figure 1) is a winter annual found throughout California and considered to be one of the most common broadleaf weeds infesting cereal crops (also referred as small grains) in the state (Wilen 2006).
Dry conditions this year have generated common questions from growers such as when should I irrigate to maximize yield? and will I be able to take this crop to seed? Many of the principles that dictate irrigation strategies in wheat are similar to those of other crops.
