To increase the probability of winter survival, it is recommended that winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) be sown into standing stubble from a previous crop, which acts to trap an insulating layer of snow. Therefore, to replenish nutrients used by the previous crop and to obtain optimum yields of winter wheat, these soils have to be fertilized with N and P. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of N and P, alone and in combination, on the freezing tolerance of Norstar winter-wheat seedlings in the fall and in early spring and during storage at −4 °C throughout the winter months. None of the fertilizer treatments had an effect on the freezing tolerance of the seedlings in late fall, however, P in combination with N decreased freezing tolerance in March and April, with the effects being more pronounced at high rates of P. Seedlings sampled from the field in early May were similar in freezing tolerance, irrespective of the level of fall-applied N and P. Both shoot and root growth of seedlings collected in the spring were enhanced by P fertilization in combination with N. Fall-applied P increased the level of tissue N and P, while applications of N increased the level of tissue N of seedlings sampled in late fall. Key words: Winter wheat, nitrogen, phosphorous, freezing tolerance

Increasing the duration of freezing of Kharkov winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) demonstrated that severe injury does not occur to plants at a freezing temperature (−6 C) well above the lethal temperature for at least 5 days, but progressively more damage occurs as the temperature approaches the killing point (−20 C). High levels of cold hardiness can be induced rapidly in Kharkov winter wheat if seedlings are grown for 4–6 days at 15 C day/10 C night, prior to being exposed to hardening conditions including diurnal freezing to −2 C. The cold hardiness of Kharkov and Rideau winter wheat seedlings grown from 1-yr-old seed was greater than that from 5-yr-old seed. Cold-acclimated Kharkov winter wheat and Dover winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) demonstrated the capacity to reharden after varying periods under dehardening conditions. The time required to reharden and the maximum level of hardiness attained by the plants was dependent on the amount of dehardening. Considerable rehardening was observed even when both dehardening and rehardening were carried out in the dark.
