WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTIVITY AND MOISTURE RESERVES by E. A. Gaevaya, A. E. Mishchenko

“…It has been found out that sprouts do not appear if moisture reserves in an arable layer are 1,3-9,4 mm; their condition is very poor if moisture reserves are 12-19 mm; moisture reserves of 20 mm give satisfactory sprouts and moisture reserves of more than 20 mm give good sprouts. …”
