Recommended Adjust SL application window

Determining the risk for root and stem lodging

When am I at risk for root lodging? (Feekes 1–4)	When am I at risk for stem lodging? (Feekes 5–9)
Cereal crops are planted late (backward crop), and the focus is to maximize tillers.	Cereal crops are planted early and show lots of growth.
Season is wet, resulting in less compact soil conditions.	Spring is warm, promoting lots of growth.
	Cereal fields are highly populated (due to overseeding or heavy nitrogen levels), resulting in weak stems.
Cereal variety is prone to lodging.
