Montana Intrastate Winter Wheat Variety Evaluations (2009)

Abstract

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.
