Report to MWBC for On-Farm Cereal Variety and Advanced Breeding Line Testing across Montana for Environment Specific Cultivar Recommendations
Introduction
Commercially available winter wheat, spring wheat, barley and durum varieties are evaluated each year for agronomic performance and
fit at on-farm locations across the state of Montana. Sites chosen for the research consider the environment, growing conditions
and soil types, and represent the major land areas for producers in regions served by each local Research Center. The results
from these trials are for farmers, extension personnel, certified seed producers and agronomic consultants to make the most
informed decisions possible when it comes to appropriate variety selection for a specific area. In addition to commercially available
varieties being tested, a small number of elite Montana State University breeding lines close to potential release are included
to fulfill crop-years of testing requirements and to be able to make viable recommendations to area producers and others, once the
release is made.
Results from these trials are compiled below.
