Is deep sowing barley and wheat an option?

Planting on time is vital to achieve optimal yield for winter cereals, as is consideration of varieties and sowing depth. Deep sowing is an important tool when dealing with seasonal variability in the northern grain region. Deep sowing allows timely sowing when good subsoil moisture is available but sowing rain has not been received. Chickpeas are routinely deep sown each year, and research was needed on winter cereals, as growers needed planting options.
