Harvesting wheat at the late dough stage gives both high quality and high yield
In recent years, researchers have studied the grain-filling rate of several wheat varieties, and the 1000-grain weight reaches its maximum at the late dough stage of wheat. If harvesting begins 3 days after this, the 1000-grain weight decreases by an average of 0.3-9.4 grams per day, while if harvesting begins on the 4th-5th day, the 1000-grain weight decreases by an average of 1-1.2 grams per day. If calculated at 350,000-400,000 ears per mu and 35 grains per ear, for every 1 gram decrease in 1000-grain weight, the yield per mu drops by 13-15 kg. Studies show that harvesting wheat at the late dough stage is most suitable, because during the milk-ripening stage, the stems and leaves
