- Title
GROWTH STAGES IN CEREALS.
- Authors
Large, E. C.
- Abstract
This article offers information on the Feekes scale, which has been used in advisory and investigational work on cereals in England and Wales. With variations in the heading stages, the scale has been found applicable not only to wheat, but also to oats, barley and rye. It is in use for defining the course of growth of cereal crops in relation to seasonal conditions and variety; for indicating the stage of development of the plants when mildew, rust and other disease and pest assessments are made; and also in connection with work on growth-regulator weed-killers, where the risk of damage to cereals is crucially dependent on the stage of growth at which the material is applied.
