Introduction

The agronomic characteristics of winter wheat

varieties recently developed or evaluated by the

Montana Agricultural Experiment Station are

compared in this publication with other varieties

grown in the state. A brief description of each

variety is given which may include a variety's

particular advantages or disadvantages. The

information was extracted from the Intrastate

Winter Wheat Nursery. This data is prepared by

research personnel of the Montana Agricultural

Experiment Station. Where available, up to four

years of yield data are shown for the varieties. In

some years data are not available because of hail,

winter-kill, or other unavoidable causes.

Variety Testing Procedures

Fig. 1. Test Locations for Montana winter

wheat performance tests in 2018.

Locations

Hard winter wheats were planted at 8 Montana and

1 North Dakota location (Fig. 1) including Carter/Ft.

Benton, Conrad and Havre in the North Central

district, Moccasin in the Central district, Huntley in

the Southern district, Sidney and Williston, ND

representing the Northeast district, Kalispell in the

Northwest and Bozeman in the Southwest districts

of the state.

Entries

Names of commercially available varieties and

experimental lines evaluated in 2018 are listed with

their origins, experimental designation, release

year, and pedigrees in Table 2 for the hard winter

wheats. Forty-nine hard wheats are included in this

summary comprising 33 varieties (15 public and 18

private) and 16 experimental lines (15 public and 1

private). Numbered entries preceded by a state

designation [e.g. MT1642 (Montana) or private

company, PSB13NEDH-7-140, (Limagrain)] are

experimental lines provided by the breeder.

Experimental Design and Seeding Methods

The Intrastate Winter Wheat Test consists of a 49

entry test with 3 replicates. These tests are planted

as 7x7 lattices or a randomized complete block

design at each location. Plot size varied by location,

from 35 ft

at Conrad to 60 ft

at Havre. Row

number varies: Bozeman and Havre are 3-

row,Conrad, Huntley, Carter, and Sidney are 4-row,

Moccasin (5-row), Kalispell (7-row), and Williston

(8-row) Row spacing at all locations was on 1 ft.

centers, except at Williston and Kalispell (6”

centers). All plots were seeded at 1 million

seeds/acre, except at Kalispell (1.25 million) and

Williston (1.17 million seeds/acre). Information on

previous crop, planting date, fertilizer use and

harvest date is available in Table 1.

All seed, for each nursery, was treated with Cruiser

Maxx Cereals seed treatment, at recommended

rates, before planting.

Description of Data Collected

Yield

All rows of each plot were trimmed and measured

and harvested using an experimental plot combine.

Grain yields are reported in bushels per acre based

on a 60 pound standard bushel weight. In addition

to yields obtained in 2018, data is provided for two

(2017-2018), three (2016-2018) and four (2015-

2018) year averages for hard wheat entries tested

during previous cropping seasons

.Test Weight

Test weights (pounds per bushel) were obtained for

each plot by using Dickey-John Grain Analysis

Computer (GAC) at some locations. Other

locations use a Seedburo test weight apparatus. In

this case, a sample is dropped through a funnel at

a given height into a quart brass bucket, excess

grain is removed by a flat stick then weighed on a

gram scale, and grams per quart are converted into

pounds per bushels.

Heading Date

Heading date is taken when 50% of the heads in a

plot were extended above the flag leaf collar.

Heading dates are recorded both in ordinal date

(number of days from January 1) and the actual

calendar date.

Plant Height

Plant height was measured, in inches, from the soil

surface to the top of the head, excluding the awns.

Grain Protein

Grain protein is sampled from a composite of all 3

replicated plots at each location. It is determined

as a % by NIR (near infrared reflectance) on the

Infratec whole grain analyzer. Samples are

adjusted to a 12% moisture basis.

Winter Survival

Percent winter survival is estimated for each plot

after initial spring green-up at locations where

significant winter injury occurred. There was

differential winter-kill at Sidney, resulting in winter

survival ranging from 0-63% (average = 40%) on

May 8th, in 2018.

Table 12 contains information on % winter survival

and associated yield in winter-kill environments

from 2013 to 2018. The data summarizes 4 tests in

which significant winter-kill occurred (test average

for winter survival was less than 90%). All sites

with winter-kill were in District 6 (Sidney and

Williston) which are the most severe location for

winter wheat survival of our testing locations.

Wheat Stem Sawfly

Wheat stem sawfly (WSS) is a persistent and

economic problem for wheat growers in Montana.

Currently, Montana wheat acreage infested by

WSS is primarily in the north central (District 5),

central (District 4) and south central (District 3)

cropping districts. Host plant resistance in the form

of stem solidness has been effective in reducing

sawfly losses in both spring and winter wheat.

Current solid-stemmed winter wheat varieties

include: Judee, (released in 2011), Bearpaw

(2011), Warhorse (2013), Loma (2016), and

WB4483 (2016).

Table 13 contains information on yield and %

sawfly cutting at 13 testing locations where sawfly

pressure was present during the years 2013-2018.

2019 Winter Wheat Varieties (2018 Data)

The data is from Carter (13 miles west of Ft.

Benton), Choteau, Fly Creek (about 25 east-

southeast of Huntley), Havre, Loma (15 miles

northeast of Ft. Benton), Shelby/Devon area, and

The Knees (35 miles east-southeast of Conrad).

Solidness scores (rated on a 5-25 scale) are shown

for solid and semi-solid varieties in Table 15.

Coleoptile Length

Coleoptile length evaluation is performed in

Bozeman under controlled (growth chamber)

conditions. Twenty-five seeds per variety were

planted in wetted vermiculite. After 15 days the

coleoptile (sheath covering the emerging shoot that

helps penetration to the soil surface) is measured.

This test is replicated 3 times for each variety.

Results from previous years are reported in Table

15. Long coleoptiles are generally longer than 3.5

inches, medium from 2.7-3.5 in, and short are

under 2.7 in. Care should be taken not to plant

short coleoptile varieties too deep.

Other Agronomic Characters

Table 15 contains information on grain maturity,

chaff color, relative winter survival and straw

strength for the hard wheat varieties listed in this

publication.

Cereal Quality

Milling and baking characteristics for varieties are

presented in Table 15. They are rated for each

variety on a 1-5 scale (5 = superior). A quantitative

polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has been determined for

varieties since the 2006 mill and bake evaluation.

These varieties are reported in Table 15 as low to

high. A lower value is associated with better Asian

noodle quality.

Disease Reactions

Disease reactions for hard red wheat varieties are

listed in Table 15. There is information on dwarf

smut, stripe rust, stem rust and leaf rust.

Statistical Analyses and Interpretation

The data collected at each winter wheat location

was analyzed as a three-replication lattice or

randomized complete block design. Least

significant difference at the 0.05 probability level

(LSD, p = 0.05) and coefficients of variation (CV)

were calculated from analysis of variance at each

location. The LSD is used to compare the

performance of two specific varieties at a time. If

the difference between two varieties exceeds the

LSD this is interpreted as a true difference,

because a difference between two varieties this

large will only occur 5% of the time due to chance.

Tables 3 through 11 show 2018 data for hard winter

wheat collected at all harvested experiment station

sites. Where a variety has been in the test for two,

three or four years, combined analyses of the yield

data over years are presented.

Variety selection should be based on yield stability

at a particular location over a period of years.

Selection should also consider test weight, winter-

hardiness, heading date, plant height, protein and

disease resistance.

2018 Test Conditions

Statewide winter wheat yields were projected by

the Montana Agricultural Statistics Service at 50

bushels per acre (bu/a), for 2018. This is a new

record, 1 bushel above the previous record, set in

both 2010 and 2016, of 49 bu/a. This is also an

increase over the 42 bu/a for the 2017 harvest

year. The harvested acreage in 2018 was 1.57

million acres (total production = 78.5 million bu)

compared 1.59 million acres in 2017 (total

production = 66.8 million bu).

Rainfall for the 2017-2018 crop year was above

average at all locations except Conrad (average)

and both Carter/Fort Benton and Kalispell (below

average, with a range of -2.87 inches at Kalispell

to +8.38 at Huntley (Table 14). Average yearly

temperatures were below long term at all locations,

except Kalispell, ranging from -3.8°F (Conrad) to

+2.6°F at Kalispell (Table 14).

In 2017, ‘Yellowstone’ was miss-planted. No 2

year through 4 year comparisons could be made at

any of the locations, except Kalispell and Williston,

which were not harvested in 2017.

Yields, for the 9 locations harvested averaged 77

bu/a {range 44 (Willison, hail impacted) to 132 bu/a

(Bozeman)}. Yields of named varieties, across the

7 harvested locations, ranged from a low of 68 bu/a

(Bearpaw) to a high of 86 bu/a for Keldin.

Test weight averaged 61.6 lb/bu across all

locations. Kalispell (58.4 lb/bu, heat and stripe

2019 Winter Wheat Varieties (2018 Data)

rust), Williston (59.8), and Carter/Fort Benton (59.9)

were below 60 lb/bu, while the other 6 locations

were above.

Heading dates were earlier in 2018 than long term

averages at the 8 harvested locations where

comparisons are available. Bozeman at -6 days

had the greatest difference, while the least change

occurred at Huntley (-2 days). Heading dates for all

these stations averaged 6 days later than 2017.

Stripe rust at Bozeman, typically a yield reducing

factor the previous 3 years (2015-2017), was

practically non-existent in 2018. Stripe rust at

Kalispell (data not recorded) was a factor in yield

and test weight reduction for highly susceptible

varieties (Bearpaw, Byrd CL Plus, Decade, Incline

AX, SY 517 CL2, and WB4575).

There was sawfly cutting recorded at the Northern

Seeds Carter/Ft. Benton site averaging 53%,

ranging from 0 (Warhorse) to over 75% (Langin,

LCS Zoom, SY Clearstone 2CL, and Yellowstone)

of stems cut, across all entries. Sawfly cutting was

also recorded at Havre (average = 6%, range 0 –

15%) and Conrad (average = 18%, range 1 – 42%).

Protein content averaged 12.6% across all

locations (location range = 11.2 – 14.2%) tested.

The range of named varieties across all locations

was from a low of 11.5% (Langin) to a high of

13.7% (WB4623CLP).

Dwarf Smut (TCK)

Dwarf smut (TCK) can be controlled with ‘Dividend’

seed treatment (see page 5). Dwarf smut or dwarf

bunt (Tilletia controversa Kuhn) is a fungal disease

that occurs in areas where winter wheat is

subjected to prolonged snow cover or unfrozen

ground. The planting of dwarf smut resistant

varieties (Promontory and SY Clearstone 2CL are

resistant) is a practical means of control.

The amount of wheat lost each year because of

dwarf smut is small in relation to the state's total

crop, but individual operators may experience

severe losses in heavily infested, localized areas.

Fig. 2. Known areas of dwarf smut (TCK)

infestations.

If you farm in the vicinity of one of the shaded areas

in the map (Figure 2.), you would be well advised to

observe closely your winter wheat crop and

consider using seed treatment.

Producing Winter Wheat

Plant CERTIFIED CLASS SEED of varieties

RECOMMENDED by the Montana Agricultural

Experiment Station.

Seed Treatment

Treat all winter wheat seed with a recommended

fungicide to reduce losses caused by cereal smut

or other seed-borne diseases. Several non-

mercurial compounds are registered for grain seed

treatment.

Dwarf smut (bunt) can be controlled with

difenoconazole. Dividend® contains this compound

and is available in Montana. If you farm in a dwarf

smut area contact your seed dealer or chemical

representative for more information about this seed

treatment. See Figure 2 for known areas of dwarf

smut infestations.

Diseases are best controlled when all seeds are

coated with a seed treatment. Do not over-treat--

Follow recommendation of manufacturer of product

as to rate.

Truck-mounted seed treaters, which apply the

fungicide as the seed is augered into the drill box,

do a good job of treating if operated according to

manufacturer's specifications.

2019 Winter Wheat Varieties (2018 Data)

Drill box treatments are not effective for general

use.

When using any pesticide materials, read the

information on the label as to rate of application,

specific uses, methods of handling, precautions,

etc.

Seeding Rate and Date

The following rates and dates for seeding are

general (Figure 3). The heavier seeding rate,

where indicated, is applicable to plump seed of high

test weight (above 60 lbs/bu) or for seed having a

kernel size larger than normal for most other

varieties. The lighter rates are for the smaller

seeded varieties or when test weight is below

normal for larger seeded varieties. Seeding rates

may be lower if adequate nitrogen and phosphorus

amounts are applied at planting.

Winter wheat seed lots may vary in the number

of seeds per pound depending on the ratio of

large-to-small seeds in a seed lot. The

average is approximately 15,000 seeds per pound.

A precise count of the number of seeds per pound

should be made on your seed lot to help calibrate

your drill. You can also calculate how many

pounds of seed you will need to plant an acre.

As to seeding date -- DO NOT SEED TOO EARLY

in areas where root rot diseases are prevalent. In

areas where Cephalosporium stripe, wheat streak

mosaic virus or other root rot diseases have caused

losses, delay seeding until the soil temperature in

the seed zone will stay below 55

F except for brief

periods during the day. In the southern half of

Montana, this is usually September 10 to 20. In

Districts 5 and 6, plant between September 1 and

15. Cooler soil temperatures slow root

development and reduce the probability of winter

root injury and invasion by soil-borne organisms.

To reduce the incidence of root and foot rots, plant

winter wheat on land previously seeded to other

crops such as barley, oats or spring wheat.

Extreme seeding delay, however, reduces seedling

vigor and increases chances of winter-kill.

Seeding Depth

Set the drill to place the seed 1 to 2 inches below

the soil surface. Deeper seeding reduces tillering

and lowers crop yields. With the furrow drills, wind-

driven soil particles settle in the furrows covering

the seed deeper than desired.

Yield in Winter Wheat as Influenced by

Percent Stand

During periods of winter injury farmers are

frequently faced with a decision as to whether or

not a field should be torn up and re-seeded. A 40

to 50 percent winter wheat stand, if general over

field, may produce as much as re-seeded spring

wheat. Thinner stands will likely demand more

attention for weed control.

The guidelines for evaluating winter wheat stands

are to determine the average number of healthy

plants per square yard. We suggest making a

square frame out of 3/8 inch rod. Walk the field in a

zigzag pattern counting at ten random locations.

Fields that have 80 or more plants per square yard

will probably produce more than if replanted to

spring wheat (information taken from 1995 Master’s

Thesis, “Critical Overwintering Plant Population for

Successful Winter Wheat Production in Montana”

by Doug Holen).

Additional Descriptive Information for Winter Wheat Varieties

New for the 2019 Bulletin:

AAC Wildfire – hard red winter wheat developed

by Agriculture and AgriFoods Canada in Alberta,

released in 2015, and marketed by SECAN. AAC

Wildfire is a late maturing, hollow-stemmed, tall

wheat with red chaff. AAC Wildfire has average

yield, test weight, and protein, with above average

winter survival. AAC Wildfire is moderately resistant

to stripe rust. Mill and bake characteristics, under

Montana conditions, have not been determined.

Byrd CL Plus – hard red winter wheat developed

by Colorado and released in 2018. Byrd CL Plus is

an early maturing, hollow-stemmed, medium-tall

wheat with white chaff. Byrd CL Plus has above

average yield, average test weight, and below

average protein, with average winter survival.

Resistance or susceptibility to stripe rust, under

Montana conditions, has not been determined for

Byrd CL Plus. Mill and bake characteristics, under

Montana conditions, have not been determined

PVP, Title V will be applied for. Additionally, the

CLEARFIELD genes are patented.

Incline AX – hard red winter wheat developed by

Colorado and released in 2017. Incline AX is the

first wheat to be released as part of the CoAXium

Wheat Production System for use in control of

grassy weeds. Incline AX is a medium maturing,

hollow-stemmed, medium height wheat with white

chaff. Incline AX has below average yield, test

weight, and protein, with below average winter

survival. Resistance or susceptibility to stripe rust,

under Montana conditions, has not been

determined for Incline AX. Mill and bake

characteristics, under Montana conditions, have not

Plant Variety Protection

The Plant Variety Act, signed into law in 1970,

offers legal protection to developers of new

varieties of plants which reproduce sexually – that

is, through seeds. The law provides for a Plant

Variety Protection Office in the U.S. Department of

Agriculture. The office receives and processes

applications and when “novelty” is established,

issues a certificate granting protection rights

specified by the applicant.

The owner (or developer) holding a “certificate of

protection” has complete control over the variety for

20 years. The law provides two types of protection:

1. Without Seed Certification

The owner of the protected variety may exclude

others from reproducing the variety, selling it,

offering it for sale, importing or exporting it, or use it

in the commercial production of a hybrid or a

different variety without permission. In this sense,

the owner of a protected variety may bring civil

damage action against anyone who infringes upon

his rights.

2. Certified Seed Option

The owner may specify that the seed of his variety

“…be sold or advertised only as a class of Certified

Seed”. Production and sale of such seed by variety

name, when not certified, constitute a violation of

the Federal Seed Act. This means of protection

may be used extensively for publicly as well as

privately developed varieties.

Amendments to the Plant Variety Protection Act

(PVPA) have passed both houses of Congress and

been signed into law by the President. These

amendments went into effect in 1995. The farmers

exemption has been changed for new varieties.

Seed for varieties issued a certificate after April 4,

1995, may only be purchased from the owner or his

agent. A farmer can only save seed of these

varieties for use on his own farm and cannot sell

seed of the protected variety to his neighbor.

A variety protected under the certification option

does not permit a farmer producing seed to sell or

offer for sale or advertise by variety name unless it

is certified. Sale of such seed by variety name as

uncertified seed will constitute a violation of the

Federal Seed Act. Interstate movement of seed is

subject to inspection by Federal Seed Control

officials. Seed within the state is subject to

inspection by State Department of Agriculture

inspectors.

Owners of protected varieties will give public notice

that their variety is protected by affixing to the label

or container the words: “Unauthorized Propagation

Prohibited” or the words, “Unauthorized Seed

Multiplication Prohibited”. Producers must check

the label (tag) or the container for the above

wording.
