Question

A wheat field sown in the sixth year and continues to grow in the seventh year, is there a prohibition of sefichim?

Answer

If they reached a third of their growth before the Shemitah year, there is no prohibition of sefichim, according to all opinions. If they did not reach this measure, there is a prohibition of sefichim, according to all opinions.
