AGRONOMIC RESULTS SUMMARY:
Across eight locations in 2018, MTD16001 (84.6 bu/ac) was highest yielding followed by
MTD16004 (81.0 bu/ac). MTD16001 yielded significantly more than the check Mountrail (78.5 bu/ac)
(Table 2). MT112219 had the largest test weight (62.9 bu/ac) overall but had the second lowest protein
content (13.7%) after MTD16003 (13.6%), which were both significantly lower than Mountrail (Table 2).
Dynamic (15.6%), MTD16009 (15.6%) and Vivid (15.5%) had the highest protein content which was
significantly higher than Mountrail (Table 2). MTD16009 had the highest protein content of the
experimental lines (15.6%) but also had the second lowest yield (74.1 bu/ac) and lowest test weight
(58.6 lbs/bu) in the trial (Table 2). MTD16008 (15.3%) also had significantly higher protein than the
check Mountrail (14.7%) (Table 2). MT112219 (28.7 in.) was the shortest entry followed by Alzada (29.6
in.), and both are semi-dwarfs, while the tallest lines were MTD16002 (41.1 in.) and MTD16006 (40.2 in.)
(Table 2). Alzada and MT112219 also had a significantly earlier heading date (-4 days) compared to
Mountrail (Table 2).
Under irrigated conditions, MTD16001 had the highest yield (120.6 bu/ac), which was
significantly higher than Mountrail, and Alzada had the lowest yield (90.1 bu/ac) (Table 3). MTD16010
had the highest test weight (64.0 lb/bu) which was significantly higher than Mountrail (Table 3).
MTD16009 had the lowest test weight (61.1 lb/ac) and the highest protein content (15.5%). MTD16003
had the lowest protein content (12.9%) followed by MT112219 (13.7%), both were significantly lower
than Mountrail (14.8%) (Table 3).
In rainfed trials, MTD16001 (73.2 bu/ac) was highest yielding, significantly higher than Mountrail
(67.7 bu/ac) (Table 4). MT112219 had the highest test weight (62.9 lb/bu), was the shortest (28.8 in.)
and had the lowest protein content (13.9%) (Table 4). CDC-Dynamic (16.1%) and MTD16009 (16.0%)
had the highest protein of the lines
.
QUALITY RESULTS SUMMARY:
Grain quality results from USDA-ARS showed significant differences for all traits measured
(Tables 13, 14). MT112219 had the highest test weight (62.7 bu/ac), whereas Alzada had the largest
individual seed weight (45.0 mg), individual kernel diameter (3.0 mm), and percent large kernels (81.5
%). MTD16009 had the lowest test weight (57.9 bu/ac), lowest number of large kernels (49.1%), and the
highest grain protein (15.7%). MT112219 and MTD16003 had the lowest grain protein (13.7%).
MTD16003 had the highest milling yield (63.3%) followed by MT112219 (63.2%) while
MTD16009 had the lowest milling yield (59.1%). Semolina protein results reflected the grain protein
results with MTD16009 having the highest protein content (14.5%) followed by Dynamic (14.1%) while
