When does wheat mature?

1. Maturity Time

The time at which wheat is planted will vary greatly depending on the time it is planted. It is generally planted in autumn and spring. If it is planted in September or October, it needs to hibernate in winter and will resume growth in spring, and will mature around June.

If planted in spring from March to April, its growth cycle will be relatively shorter, and it will mature in July or August, with a growth cycle of only about 3 months. However, if it is planted in the northernmost region of our country, it will mature even later, and the earliest it will mature is around August, and sometimes even in September. Relatively speaking, the southern region will be a little earlier, while the northern region will be delayed.

2. Performance after maturity

1. Stems: When wheat matures, its stems will become very dry, turn yellow, and the leaves will also turn yellow.

2. Seeds: It will change from green to orange or light yellow, and the water content will also decrease, usually between 45%-50%, and it will be very hard when pinched.
