Triticum compactum erinaceum Triticum compactum erinaceum Triticum compactum erinaceum, also called California Club Wheat or Mayview wheat, is an extinct subspecies of the hexaploid club wheat Triticum compactum. "T. compactum erinaceum" was a bearded, hairy rachis, red-chaffed wheat named for its appearance similar to that of a hedgehog. "T. compactum erinaceum" was thought to have disappeared before 1822.

The new specimen indicate that "T. compactum erinaceum" was grown in the United States
Cereal growth staging scales development, the Feekes scale is useful in planning management strategies that incorporate plant growth information for the use of pesticides and fertilizers to avoid damaging the crop and/or maximize crop yield. The Zadoks scale is a cereal development scale proposed by the Dutch phytopathologist Jan C. Zadoks that is widely used in cereal research and agriculture. Knowing the stages of development of a crop is critical in many management decisions that growers make. They are represented on a scale from 10 to 92. For example, in some countries, nitrogen and herbicide applications must be completed during the tillering stage. In
