Irrigation — Common Wheat

Triticum aestivum L.

The critical period for water consumption in common wheat encompasses the stages from jointing to the beginning of flowering.

In the reference 34 varieties crop Bread wheat, where this is mentioned in the description.

For common wheat, the key stages for irrigation are tillering and the jointing-to-heading period. For spring wheat, the strategy typically includes three irrigations: pre-sowing (moisture recharge), and during the tillering and heading stages, whereas the regime for winter wheat is supplemented with a pre-sowing irrigation. Moisture deficit during this interval limits photosynthesis and cell growth and reduces grain count; however, excessive moisture impairs soil aeration and negatively affects mineral nutrition.

Unlike row crops, common wheat does not require intensive irrigation during the grain-filling period, as excess moisture at this time can trigger secondary growth, delay maturation, and lead to pre-harvest sprouting. Winter wheat has a weaker root system compared to spring wheat, which causes its increased dependence on soil moisture during the early stages of development.
