Weeds do not affect wheat yields as much as they affect corn and soys. Short weeds such as chickweed and field violet have little effect on wheat yields. But they may cause other problems.

If you leave chickweed to grow it causes problems in next year’s corn or beans. This early growing weed is a good food source for wireworms. Wireworms will affect the bean or corn crop if not controlled. Chickweed does interfere with corn planting. Tillage just moves the root balls around resulting in poorer seed-to-soil contact.
