Default Germination rates needed

Once planted and assuming an adequate rainfall, how long will it take for the following seeds to germinate:

1- Winter wheat
2- Oats
3- Rape
4- Ladino clover

Thanks all!

1- Winter wheat 5-7 days
2- Oats " "
3- Rape 8-10 days
4- Ladino clover 10-14 days

In my experience.

The cereal grains will grow very fast as well - 6-8" in 3-4 weeks

The Rape loves Nitrogen, and will also grow kind of fast if N is adequate

Of course Ladino is sloooow growing the first fall. If you get 2-3" consider yourself very lucky - it takes time for the roots to develop enough to fix N, and get going. Rest assured they will come on good in June Next year.

Rape is a funny plant. It is supposed to be an annual, but I had quite a bit come back from last year's planting. From the roots too, not from reseeding. We did have a mild winter by our standards though.
