2004 Intra-State Winter Wheat Variety Performance
(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2004) Berg, Jim E.; Bruckner, Phil L.; Carlson, G. R.; Eckhoff, Joyce L.; Grey, William E.; Johnston, Robert H.; Kushnak, Gregory D.; Kephart, Ken D.
This report evaluates new and existing winter wheat lines and varieties in dryland under various growing conditions in Montana and Western North Dakota. The 2004 Intrastate Winter Wheat Evaluation nursery was grown at Bozeman, Havre, Huntley, Kalispell, Moccasin, and Sidney, Montana and Williston, North Dakota. The 2004 Montana winter wheat crop varied widely across research locations due to extremes in winter survival, precipitation and growing season temperatures. The eastern portion of Montana had harsh winter conditions that caused pockets of winter kill. Severe drought conditions persisted in eastern Montana south of highway 200. Northwest Montana and north central conditions were much improved over the 2003 crop year. Cool June weather compensated for below average precipitation in central Montana. Dry conditions during grain fill reduced test weights at all locations except Bozeman. Harvest weather, in general, was good. The environmental conditions across the intra-state winter wheat locations provided for an ideal range of yields for good assessment of yield potential. These conditions provided an excellent range of yields and test weights. Grain protein levels were high. Conditions were suitable for good winter survival evaluations at Sidney and Williston.
Montana Intrastate Winter Wheat Variety Evaluations (2009)
(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2009) Berg, Jim E.; Bruckner, Phil L.; Carlson, G. R.; Eckhoff, Joyce L.; Grey, William E.; Johnston, Jeffrey; Kushnak, Gregory D.; Kephart, Ken D.; Riveland, N. R.; Stougaard, Robert N.; Wichman, David M.
This report evaluates new and existing winter wheat cultivars and lines under various dryland growing conditions at Montana and Western North Dakota research centers. It also provides unbiased information on improved winter wheat cultivars for producers to use in the selection of cultivars best suited for their cropping environment. The 2009 Montana Intrastate Winter Wheat Nursery was established at Bozeman, Havre, Huntley, Conrad, Kalispell, Moccasin, Sidney, and Williston. The Sidney location was not harvested due to winter kill. Across locations performance means will be high-lighted in this summary. New cultivars and development lines were among the top performers for yield, test weight, protein content, and stem solidness and plant height.
Registration of ‘Egan’ Wheat with Resistance to Orange Wheat Blossom Midge
(2014-08) Blake, Nancy K.; Stougaard, Robert N.; Bohannon, B.; Weaver, David K.; Heo, Hwa-Young; Lamb, Peggy F.; Nash, Deanna L.; Wichman, David M.; Kephart, Ken D.; Miller, John H.; Eckhoff, Joyce L.; Grey, William E.; Reddy, Gadi V. P.; Lanning, Susan P.; Sherman, Jamie D.; Talbert, Luther E.
Egan' hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. No. 1102, PI 671855) was developed by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 2014. Egan is intended for production in areas of Montana infested with the orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin). Egan is resistant to OWBM due to antibiosis conferred by resistance gene Sm1. Egan also contains a chromosome segment originally introgressed into wheat from T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides containing a gene for high protein (Gpc-B1) and a gene for stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici) resistance (Yr36). Egan has shown high yield potential and high grain protein in nurseries grown under OWBM pressure in the Flathead Valley of Montana. Egan is the first hard red spring wheat cultivar with resistance to OWBM developed for Montana.
Registration of 'Northern' Hard Red Winter Wheat
(2016-05) Berg, Jim E.; Lamb, Peggy F.; Miller, John H.; Wichman, David M.; Kephart, Ken D.; Stougaard, Robert N.; Pradhan, G. P.; Nash, Deanna L.; Grey, William E.; Gettel, D.; Gale, Sam; Jin, Yue; Kolmer, J. A.; Chen, X.; Bai, G.; Murray, T. D.; Bruckner, Phil L.
Northern' (Reg. No. CV-1114, PI 676026) hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed and released by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station in 2015. Northern was derived from a composite of two crosses, MT9982//MTW0072/NW97151 and MTW0047//MTW0072/NW97151. Northern was developed using a modified bulk breeding method and selected as an F-5:7 headrow. Northern was tested under the experimental number MT0978 in Montana yield trials from 2009 to 2015. Like predominant cultivar Yellowstone, Northern is a high-yielding, winter-hardy hard red winter wheat cultivar with medium to late maturity, medium to high grain protein, and acceptable milling and baking quality. Northern was released for its excellent performance in winter wheat production environments of north-central Montana, reduced plant height, and improved grain volume weight and resistance to stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) relative to Yellowstone.
