Forage grazing timing crucial for maximizing wheat grain yield.
The study looked at how grazing cattle on wheat fields affects grain yield. They found that delaying the final grazing of wheat plants led to lower grain yields. This was because delaying grazing reduced the number of seeds produced per plant. To get the most grain, it's best to stop grazing by the early joint stage of plant development. So, farmers should plan their grazing schedules carefully to maximize wheat grain production.
