2014 Spring Wheat Evaluations in the Western Triangle Area
Personnel: John H. Miller, Julie Prewett, and Gadi V.P. Reddy, Western Triangle Ag. Research Center, Conrad, MT and Luther Talbert and Hwa-Young Heo PSPP, Bozeman.
The advanced spring wheat and durum nurseries were planted on barley stubble chemical fallow and grown under dryland conditions in 2014. Off-station spring wheat variety nurseries were planted on chemical fallow. Off station trials were grown north of Cut Bank, MT, north of Devon, MT, near the ‘Knees’ east of Brady, MT, and northeast of Choteau, MT in Teton county.
Results: Results are tabulated in Tables 1 thru 15. Results for the Advance nursery are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Results are tabulated in Table 3 for the irrigated off-station spring wheat nursery and Table 4 is six year averages for selected varieties in the irrigated off-station spring wheat nursery. Table 5 is for the Choteau location, with multi-year data presented in Table 6.
Tables 9 and 10 are for the Devon location, with Table 11 and 12 representing the ‘Knees’ location. The durum nursery data are shown in Tables 13 and 14. The Cut Bank location sustained a hailstorm affecting the yield data (Tables 7 and 8). Soil test results presented in Table 1 of the soil test results section.
The 2014 growing season at WTARC was a little cooler than average with a wetter than normal June. The June rain was very timely with respect to the small grain plots.
Top yielding varieties at Choteau were MT1172, MT1203, and WB Gunnison with protein averaging 14.7% across all varieties. MT1172, Vida, and Reeder were the high yielding varieties at Devon while averaging 14.6% protein across all varieties. The ‘Knees’ high yielders were Mott, MT1172, and WB Gunnison with 15.4% protein across all varieties. The best yielding varieties, after the hail storm at the Cut Bank location were Duclair, WB Gunnison, and Vida with 15.9% protein across all varieties. The top yielders in the irrigated trial were Volt, MT1103, and Duclair with protein averaging 13.2 percent. The top yielding varieties in the advanced nursery were LIMAGR142, Reeder, and SY Rowyn . Average grain protein for the advanced nursery was 12.2%.
Yields in the advanced nursery ranged from 64.5 to 106.4 bu/acre. Yields were much higher when compared to the six year average. Test weight for the advanced nursery was half pound per bushel higher, with higher grain protein when compared to the six year average (Tables 1 and 2).
Yields in the irrigated off-station spring wheat trial ranged from 78.9 to 117.8 bu/acre. When compared to the five year averages, the irrigated off-station spring wheat nursery had much higher yields, with average test weight, and with similar grain protein (Tables 3 and 4). Yields ranged from 39.0 to 50.1 bu/acre at Choteau, 32.9 to 47.6 bu/acre north of Devon, and 31.1 to 58.7 bu/acre at the ‘Knees’. At Devon the 2014 yield was up 3.8 bu/acre from the four year average; with similar grain protein and slightly higher test weight (Tables 9 and 10). The ‘Knees’ location had lower yields, higher grain protein and lower test weight when compared to the four year mean (Tables 11 and 12). Yields at Cut Bank ranged from 26.1 to 44.3 bu/acre, with 15.9% seed protein across all varieties, with low test weights.
Durum yields ranged from 74.1 to 87.9 bu/acre (Table 7). With Strongfield, MT06584, and Alzada being the top three yielding varieties. The 2014 yields were about 7.7 bu/acre higher than the six year average (Table 8). Test weights were about a pound per bushel lighter than the long term average.
Off station cooperators: Bradley Farms, north of Cut Bank, MT
Brian Aklestad, north of Devon, MT Aaron Killion, east of Brady, MT Inbody Farms, northeast of Choteau, MT
These data should be used for comparative purposes rather than using absolute numbers. Statistics are used to indicate that treatment or variety differences are really different and are not different due to chance or error. The least significant difference (LSD) and coefficient of variability (CV) values are useful in comparing treatment or variety differences. The LSD value represents the smallest difference between two treatments at a given probably level. The LSD at p=0.05 or 5 % probability level is usually the statistic reported, and it means that the odds are 19 to 1 that treatment differences by the amount of the LSD are truly different. The CV value measures the variability of the experiment or variety trial, and a CV greater than 15 % indicates a high degree of variability and less accuracy.
Funding Summary: Office of Special Projects will provide expenditure information. No other grants support this project.
MWBC FY2015 Grant Submission Plans: A similar project will be proposed for FY 2015. The continuation of on and off-station variety trials help to elucidate researchers and farmers which varieties are better suited for that particular region in Montana.

Cooperator and Location: Aaron Killion, western Chouteau County. Planted May 21, 2014 on chemical fallow. Harvested September 7/ 2014.
Fertilizer: actual pounds/ac of N-P-K: 11-22-0 applied with seed and a 100-0-20 blend of urea and potash was broadcast at planting. Fertilizer rates are based on a yield goal of 45 bu/ac.
Herbicide: The plot area was pre-plant sprayed with 20 oz/ac RT3 on 5/21/2014. The plots were sprayed with Huskie at 11 oz/ac and Axial XL at 16.4 oz/ac on 6/16/2014.
** = Solid stem sawfly-resistant (solid stem score of 19 or higher).
* = Less preferred by sawfly (behavioral preference) in small plots. CL = Clearfield System
Conducted by MSU Western Triangle Ag. Research Center.
