PACIFIC NORTHWEST WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION DOWN
16 PERCENT
In the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington and Idaho), the
winter wheat crop is now placed at 169.4 million bushels, down 10
percent from last year and down 5 percent from the May 1, 1973
forecast of 177.7 million bushels. Acreage for harvest in the
three-State area is down 4 percent from last year's crop and yield
. prospects are down 2.8 bushels per acre.
U.S. WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION UP II PERCENT
The 1973 winter wheat production is forecast at 1,316 million
bushels, 11 percent above a year earlier and 15 percent above the
1971 crop. The June 1 forecast is 3 percent above a month earlier as
normal to below normal temperatures in the Great Plains slowed
maturity but provided favorable conditions for filling. Soil
moisture supplies were adequate in the Plains but short in the
Pacific Northwest. Indicated yield per harvested acre is 35.2
bushels, compared with the 34.0 bushels in 1972 and the record high
yield of 35.4 bushels in 1971.
Prospects for the Kansas wheat crop improved during May.
Although rainfall during the month was below normal over most of
' the western two-thirds of the State, a plentiful top and subsoil
moisture supply at the beginning of the month was favorable for
continued good to excellent growth. Harvest should begin about
mid-June.
Only a few Oklahoma fields were harvested by June 1, somewhat

row spacing increased to 30
inches. Preliminary observa
tions show that row spacing,
even in Ihe 7- to 18-inch range,
hits a strong influence on wheat
protein.
The best time to plant winter
wheal and barley was outlined
by Charles R. Rohde, Pendleton
Experiment Station superin
tendent. "Station data indicate that,
when seeded before Feb. 15,
winter wheat yields higher than
spring wheat. However, after
Feb. 15, spring wheat seedings
nearly always yield higher than
winter wheat," said Rohde. He
, added that winter barley seeded
in January, February or March
always yielded less than spring
bailey.
Si ;il ion agronomist Mathias
F. Holding reviewed the Sta
tion's effort to improve the yield
and nutritive value of five
cereal crops with emphasis on
the development of a feed
wheat.
Holding said that a color
marker has been bred into feed
wheat for identification and that
the marked wheats appear
equal to Nugaines and Hyslop
during seasons having mild
winters and low incidence of
stripe rust.
Because the yields do not
offset lower prices for feed
wheat, the original selections
have been crossed with vari
eties that provide various
sources of disease resistance,
more winter hardiness and
higher yield potentials, said
Kolding
Bailey, triticale, oats and
sorghum are other crops re
ceiving research attention in
Ihe Station's cereal Improve
ment program.
Donald J. Rydrych, station
agronomist, said that three
herbicides-Sencor, IPC, and
Bladex-may be effective for
post-emergence control of
cheatgrass in wheat. He cau
tioned that response to the
herbicides varied, depending on
chemical, wheat variety and
season.
"Varieties of wheat also
differ in ability to compete with
cheatgrass." said Rydrych.
"Data collected in 1972 indicate
thai Moro and Paha are more
efficient than Nugaines or
Hyslop in suppressing cheat
grass seed production.
To date, Treflan is the only
compound registered for selec
tive control of cheatgrass in
winter wheat.
Peas, an important rotation
crop in northeastern Oregon,
were not forgotten in the
day-long research review. Sta

Irrigation when pods were
filling was more influential on
increasing yields than irriga
tion al any other stage of
growth, but irrigation at both
humming and filling consistent
ly produced more peas than
irrigation only at filling, said
Pumphrey. '
He noted that irrigation
caused some serious undesir
able effects on pea quality.
"Irrigated peas were less
uniform in size and maturity,
were more variable in color,
rated lower in color score and
contained more blond peas," he
said. He added that a com
promise is necessary between
irrigation for good yield and
minimum quality reduction.
Thru outside speakers also
were on Ihe day's program.
Harold Clinesniilh, domestic
market development specialist,
Washington Wheat Commission
provided an overview of the
potential impact new wheat
varieties would have on domes
lie markets; Robert Emge,
USDA-ARS research patholo
gist based in Frederick, Mary
land, spoke on chemical control
of stripe rust, and Eric Halfhill,
USDA entomoligist from Yak
ima. Wash., explained his
studies on Ihe problem of alfalfa
loopers in peas.
The field day to acquaint the
public with research on prob
