OBJECTIVES:
To
determine
the
adaptations
o-f
spring
barley
-for
western
Montana.
SUMMARY:
Despite
hot,
dry
weather
conditions
throughout
Montana
this
season
good
yields
were
obtained
from.the
Lake
and
Ravalli
county
nurseries.
Mean
yields
in
both
counties
were
above
90
bu/A.
"
RESULTS:
Lake
County
Nursery
-
^
Gallatin
was
the
highest
yielding
variety
at
106.98
bu/A.
The
mean
yield
for
the
twenty
entry
nursery
was
93.89
bu/A,
with
all
but
six
entries
exceeded
90
bu/A.
Test
weights
averaged
52.08
Ibs./Bu.
Percent
plump
measurements
were
slighlty
lower
than
normal
and
varied
from
88.97
to
98.27%,

Lewis
had
the
high
yield
at
71.94
bu/A.
Test
weight
and
percent
plump
means
were
51.59
Ibs/bu
and
86.27%
respectively.
Lodging
varied
from
93%
to
none.
Three
entries
had
no
lodging.

OBJECTIVES:
Evaluate
hard
red
and
soft
white
winter
wheat
varieties
for
economics
of
yield
and
quality.
To
evaluate
soft
white
winter
wheat
varieties
for
adaptation
and
winter
survival
ratings
for
production
in
south-central
Montana.
To
evaluate
the
use
of
soft
^
white
winter
wheats
as
a
feedlot
ration
in
comparison
to
the
traditional
barley
ration,
(product
economics
and
feed-to-gain
evaluations)•
"
SUMMARY:
To
date
we
have
three
years
of
data
on
irrigated
winter
f!
wheat
production.
Results
have
varied
significantly
among
the
three
years.
We
have
increased
the
number
of
soft
white
winter
wheat
varieties
in
an
attempt
to
determine
if
particular
^
varieties
are
less
winter
hardy
than
others
in
the
SARC
region.
Thus
far
all
varieties
tested
have
survived
the
past
three
winters.
The
purpose
for
evaluation
of
soft
white
winter
wheats
is
to
determine
if
we
can
produce
red
meat
per
irrigated
acre
more
economically
since
soft
white
wheats
are
generally
high
yielding
and
have
a
higher
feed
energy
content
when
compared
to
barley.
Thus
far
we
see
no
problems
in
producing
soft
white
^
winter
wheat
in
south-central
Montana,
however,
our
past
three
winters
have
been
quite
mild.
The
first
feeding
study
evaluation
of
soft
white
wheat
was
conducted
at
the
SARC
feedlot
in
the
spring
of
1988.
RESULTS:
Two
off-center
irrigated
winter
wheat
trials
were
conducted
at
Hysham
in
1988.
Nineteen
hard
red
winter
wheat
varieties
were
evaluated
for
yield
and
quality.
Most
varieties
exhibited
severe
^
lodging
with
the
outstanding
exception
of
Redwin
which
is
known
to
be
lodging
resistant.
Tiber
and
Weston,
also
exhibited
significant
resistance
to
lodging.
This
factor
would
be
critical
in
any
decision
to
irrigate
winter
wheat
production.

Please
note
yields

given

in

trial.
The
soft
white
winter
wheat
Dusty,
which
is
a
shorter
variety,
yielded
well
and
did
not
lodge.
The
highest
yielding
triticale
variety
was
Flora,
however
this
variety
had
a
high
degree
of
lodging
in
the
plots.
