pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) / premature germination

Explanation:
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in wheat causes downgrading of grain quality, severely limits end-use applications and results in substantial financial losses to farmers and food processors. - http://www.wheatbp.net/phs.htm

----------------------

Germination of wheat within the grain head before harvest is called pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Periods of prolonged rainfall and high humidity after the grain has ripened and before it can be harvested can contribute to PHS, which can be thought of as a premature germination. - http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/424/424-060/424-060.html
