For this reason it is generally grown before winter cereals.

Nowadays, brent geese have moved a bit inland to find their food, looking to agricultural land for grass and winter cereals.

Spring cereals typically require more irrigation and yield less than winter cereals.

In general, winter cereals have a much higher yield than spring cereals because they can utilise snow as moisture for growth.

This species is an agricultural pest, damaging winter cereals such as wheat, barley and rye.

It is especially serious on land bearing winter cereals, since the resulting ploughland can be exposed to the elements from October to April.

Legume cover crops with winter cereals in southern Manitoba: Fertilizer replacement values for oat.

This suggests a reduction in nitrate leaching brought about by the now well-established practice of cultivation of winter cereals, together with less use of fertiliser in the autumn.

Winter cereals, also called winter grains, fall cereals/grains, autumn-sown grains, etc.) are the cereals which are sown in the autumn.

Many monocarpic annuals and biennials, including some ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana and winter cereals such as wheat, must go through a prolonged period of cold before flowering occurs.

So were species of winter cereals (barley, oats, and wheat) and legumes (lentil and chickpea) grown in Northwest India before the sixth millennium BC.

Occasionally they are found on ornamental bamboo and once in an experimental rice field, a pest of winter cereals (wheat, barley) and summer cereals (corn, sorghum, sugar cane).

Winter cereals, for example, which are sown in the fall and germinate before the frost, become dormant during the winter and actually require a few weeks of cold before they are able to flower.

In the history of agriculture, farmers observed a traditional distinction between "winter cereals," whose seeds require chilling, and "spring cereals," whose seeds can be sown in spring and flower soon thereafter.

The word "vernalization" is a translation of "Jarovization," a word coined by Trofim Lysenko to describe a chilling process he used to make the seeds of winter cereals behave like spring cereals ("Jarovoe" in Russian).

While cold and moisture exposure are a normal part of the life cycle of fall-seeded winter cereals, the vernalization technique claimed to increase yields by increasing the intensity of exposure, in some cases planting soaked seeds directly into the snow cover of frozen fields.

Winter cereals are slow to establish, and must be sown earlier: this is apparently because there is a tendency for stubble or killed turf to be pushed down into the slits with the seed where it can create anaerobic conditions leading to the formation of toxic substances such as acetic acid.

A study by the Water Research Centre (WRC) showed that nitrate losses of 30-40 kg per hectare often occur under winter cereals and are worse under potatoes, rape and other vegetables, while only 2-5 kg/ha are leached out under grass, even fertilised with 200 kg/ha.

Not to mention this fall-come November, we have to start planting the winter grains."

Winter grains from Russian Steppes are milled and fermented.

A mixed grill with winter grains contrasts rosy, gamy squab with small meaty quail.

LEAD: Soviet winter grains may be off to a poor start this spring after enduring an usually dry autumn and cold winter, according to crop analysts here.

Winter grains suffered badly from the second-coldest winter in more than 100 years and spring brought rains and mud to some areas, while hitting other areas with a drought.

Winter cereals, also called winter grains, fall cereals/grains, autumn-sown grains, etc.) are the cereals which are sown in the autumn.

A soil-feeding crop of clover could be replaced or aided by an application of manure to set up a field for a double crop of winter grains after potatoes.

Winter cereals, also called winter grains, fall cereals/grains, autumn-sown grains, etc.) are the cereals which are sown in the autumn.
