Ground rolling delays apical development of early-sown spring wheat, reducing the risk of frost injury. According to our research results and meteorological data, rolling treatment can advance the earliest sowing date by 3 days to avoid frost damage.
Ground rolling delays spikelet initiation and thus would be expected to reduce frost injury in earlysown spring wheat. To characterize the relationship between the timing of rolling and the delay of spikelet initiation, we investigated apical development of early-sown spring wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L. cv. 'Ayahikari') rolled at the 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-leaf stage in three years. All rollings delayed apical development. The delay was largest in plants treated at the 1- or 2-leaf stage: spikelet initiation by 5.0 days, the start of internode elongation by 5.5 days, and jointing by 3.5 days relative to the control. Our results and recent meteorological data suggest that in early cropping of spring wheat in the Tokai region of Japan, the earliest sowing date to avoid frost injury can be advanced by 3 days by rolling.
