Hard Red Spring Wheat 2022 Data
Jason Cook and Hwa young Heo
Updated January 2023
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 avaerage 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.
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.
MT 1809 Released by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station in 2023, MT 1809 is an unnamed variety that has high yield potential, good grain protein content and aluminum tolerance. MT 1809 is resistant to common races of stem rust, has moderate resistance to foliar disease and scab (fusarium head blight). MT 1809 is moderately susceptible to wheat stem sawfly and has average end-use quality. Registered seed will be available for this line in 2024.
All varieties are covered by PVP and research fees are collected for CHOTEAU, VIDA, DUCLAIR, LANNING, DAGMAR, and MT SIDNEY.
