****************************************************************** TRIAL DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY ****************************************************************** The 1995 Uniform Regional Hard Red Spring Wheat Performance Nursery was planted at 22 locations and harvested at all locations except Sidney, Montana, in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Washington and Canada (Table 1-1). The nursery contained 30 entries, 5 checks and 25 experimentals (Table 1-2). An additional experimental was evaluated at locations which had not planted before the seed was available. Trials were conducted as randomized blocks with three replicates. Yield data obtained from Tetonia and Aberdeen, Idaho, Langdon and Dickinson, North Dakota were not used in any of the over location averages . Data from each of 21 locations are given in Tables 2-1 to 2-21. The highest average yielding location was Aberdeen, Idaho, with 97 bu/A and the lowest yielding locations were Carrington, North Dakota, Selby, South Dakota, and Madison, Wisconsin with 34 bu/A. The average yield of all locations combined was 47 bu/A and seven experimental lines were in the first LSD unit when 16 locations were combined (Tables 2-22 and 2-23). Sever scab attacked four locations in 1995, but these data are combined with the other locations. Five entries were earliest to head at 26 days after June 1: SD3161, SD3156, SD3165, SD3151, and BW191. The experimental with the highest test weight was SD3164. Data for experimentals and checks grown for two years are given in Table 3- 1. SBE0050 and SD3156 were in the first LSD unit for grain yield, with MN91309 and ND678 not differing from SD3156. The highest test weight entries were SD3156, ND678, MN91324, SD3151, Butte 86 and MN91309 with all above 58 lb/bu. Stability parameters for entries in 1995 are given in Table 3-2. High deviations were noted for HY417, MT9354, and SD8088. Adult plant field reaction to stem and leaf rust are shown in Tables 4-1 and 4-2. Scab reaction from field inoculation are given in Table 4-3 from St. Paul. These readings of visual severity and incidence are confounded by severe lodging. Seed density as % of kernels sinking in a sugar salt solution are included with more density being desirable.
