- Observation In the first year, wheat survived at two of four sites at rates of 82%–100%.
- Observation In the second year, all sites showed wheat survival rates of 69%–99%.
- Intervention effect In zone 2, early sowing had higher winter survival than later sowing.
- Intervention effect Sowing date had no effect on winter survival in zones 1 and 3.
- Intervention effect Seeding density had no effect on winter survival in zones 1 and 3.
- Observation Maximum yield in zone 1 occurred with mid- to late September sowing.
- Observation Maximum yield in zone 2 occurred with early to mid September sowing.
- Observation Maximum yield in zone 3 occurred with mid August to mid September sowing.
- Intervention effect Increasing seeding density produced no yield gain in zone 1.
- Association Winter survival rates differ between wheat cultivars.
- Association Yield differs between wheat cultivars.
