Hard Red Spring Wheat and Durum Response to Hail
Wheat in growth stages prior to early boot (flag leaf is just out) will have regrowth from tillers if the plants are not totally destroyed. After the head emerges ability to regrow declines rapidly. The more advanced wheat is at the time of hail the greater the yield loss. Prior to boot stage it may be best to leave the crop if stems remain. Depending on rainfall, fertility, soil moisture remaining and severity of damage, yields may vary from 20-70% of normal. Hail adjusters will adjust crops after boot stage so a decision can be made on their analysis.
