Hard Red Spring Wheat 2021 Data
Jason Cook and Hwa young Heo
Updated January 2022
VIDA A high yielding semi dwarf hard red spring wheat variety released by Montana State University in 2005. Vida performs well in dryland environments and has moderate wheat stem sawfly resistance. Grain protein content and end-use quality are average.
DUCLAIR A solid stem, early maturing semi-dwarf hard red spring wheat variety released by Montana State University in 2011. Duclair has good yield potential and above average wheat stem sawfly resistance. Duclair exhibits above average grain protein content and good end-use quality and has tolerance to high aluminum soils.
LANNING A hollow stem, early maturing, semi-dwarf hard red spring wheat variety released by Montana State University in 2016 due to good yield potential in dryland environments and superior end-use quality. Lanning has higher grain protein content and stronger gluten strength than Vida. Lanning is tolerant to high aluminum soils but susceptible to wheat stem sawfly.
NS PRESSER CLP A hollow stem, early maturing, semi dwarf hard red spring wheat Clearfield variety released by Montana State University in 2016 and licensed to Nutrien LLC. NS Presser CLP is a two-gene Clearfield variety intended for use with selective imidazolinone herbicide imazamox (Beyond, BASF Corp.). It was developed by transferring the imidazolinone herbicide class resistance genes into Vida. Yield trials shows NS Presser CLP's yield potential, grain protein content and end-use quality is similar to Vida but is not as resistant to wheat stem sawfly.
DAGMAR A semi-solid, high yielding, high protein, early maturing semi-dwarf hard red spring wheat variety released by Montana State University in 2019. Dagmar has performed very well in dryland environments, has excellent end-use quality and good resistance to wheat stem sawfly.
MT SIDNEY A hollow-stem, high yielding semi dwarf hard red spring wheat variety released by Montana State University in 2021. MT Sidney is moderately resistant to FHB (Scab), has 0.5% higher grain protein content than Vida, above average TWT and average end-use quality. MT Sidney is susceptible to wheat stem sawfly.
All varieties are covered by PVP and research fees are collected for VIDA, DUCLAIR, LANNING, DAGMAR, and MT SIDNEY.
