Description
Wheat (especially heirloom types like Black Tip) is a vital cereal crop grown for its energy-rich grains. This variety offers beautiful coloration and traditional flavor, ideal for artisan baking or small-scale cultivation. It thrives in sunny fields with well-draining soil and benefits from a long, cool growing season.
When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)
Field Planting: Sow directly into prepared beds in early November. This takes advantage of UAE’s mild winter, allowing for healthy germination and strong root establishment.
Harvest: Typically expected around March, as seen in regional wheat farm schedules like Mleiha in Sharjah.
Tips for Planting
Choose a full-sun location with loamy, fertile soil
Sow seeds 2 cm deep, broadcasting or in rows
Space seeds densely to create a thick stand
Water lightly and avoid overwatering
Remove weeds early to reduce competition
Monitor for pests like aphids or fungal issues
Harvest when seed heads are golden and dry, and stalks begin to bend naturally
