Fall rye is much more cold tolerant than winter wheat or winter triticale. The long term average heading date and maturity for Hazlet is June 1 and August 6, respectively. All fall rye varieties are similar for heading and maturity and are considered early. A major factor in marketing rye grain into the milling market is sprouting. This is generally measured using the Hagberg falling number test and is measured in seconds. Typically, a falling number of 180 seconds or greater is preferred by the rye milling market. Falling number is heavily influenced by moisture around harvest time and producers must make sure rye is harvested in a timely manner, similar to wheat crops. There is considerable variation in fall rye varieties for falling number and this must be considered if the milling market is the targeted end-user for rye grain. All fall rye is susceptible to ergot, however KWS Daniello and KWS Gatano have reduced susceptibility. AFSC crop insurance deadlines for seeding fall rye is September 20, north of the Bow River and September 30, south of the Bow River. RYE S F R C GUTTINO BI: KWS Lochow GMBH, DIST: SeedNet Inc.
