| Freeze damaged wheat head versus healthy wheat head | |
|
This head was frozen during the boot stage, but it emerged anyway. Notice the spikelets are yellowish-green and water-soaked. Also, the awns are bleached yellowish-white. That’s another symptom of freeze injury. This head will not produce any grain. |
|
This is a healthy head emerging from the boot. See how this head has a nice crisp, green color. Compare this one to the previous damaged head. |
