When is the suitable harvest time for wheat?
When is the suitable time to harvest wheat? What methods can determine the harvest period? Wheat harvested at the mid-to-late dough stage shows the highest and best yield performance. The mid-to-late dough stage of wheat can be determined by the following methods: First, observe the grains. The grains are generally orange-yellow in varying shades of light and dark. After cutting with a small knife, the cross-section appears waxy and slightly hard, with only the ventral groove area slightly soft. The hollow space near the ventral groove has disappeared, and the back of the grain can still be slightly indented by a fingernail.

The mid-to-late dough stage of wheat can be determined by the following methods:
First, observe the grains. The grains are generally orange-yellow in varying shades of light and dark. After cutting with a small knife, the cross-section appears waxy and slightly hard, with only the ventral groove area slightly soft. The hollow space near the ventral groove has disappeared, and the back of the grain can still be slightly indented by a fingernail.
Second, observe the wheat plant: the leaf tips, leaf blades and leaf sheaths turn yellow in sequence, and the stem turns yellow from the bottom upward. Only the upper leaf and its vicinity remain green, the stem below the ear turns yellow, the flag leaf sheath and the second node from the top turn yellow but do not dry up, and the whole plant shows three sections of yellow, green and yellow.
Third, observe from a distance away from the wheat field. If the upper and lower parts of the wheat plants are both yellow with a green band in the middle, it can be determined that this wheat field has entered the mid-to-late dough stage, and this is the most suitable time for harvesting.
