U.S. Competition of Hard Spring Wheat Characteristics
<p>There is a changing landscape in the wheat market from the emergence of foreign ownership of local elevators, increased consolidation in the milling sector, technology advancement, and changes in transportation. The changing landscape of the wheat market has been associated with greater degrees …

Evaluation of Spring Wheat Genotypes for Nutritional and Bread-making Quality
<p>Wheat (<em>Triticum aestivum L.)</em> is primarily grown for human consumption. The ability of wheat flour to produce cohesive dough that retains gas has helped to make it the most widely used cereal ingredient for bread and other baked food products. In addition to superior bake quality, recent …

Morpho-Physiological responses of spring wheat(Triticum Aestivum L.) to heat stress
Constant or transitory high temperatures affect wheat growth and development leading to diverse morphological, physiological and biochemical changes that eventually decrease grain yield. It is against this background that this study was conducted to identify morpho-physiological traits associated …

Performance of spring wheat under summer rainfall winter irrigated conditions in Zambia
… to study the comparative performance of five spring wheat varieties (UNZAWV1, UNZAWV2, Coucal, Sahai and Loerrie II) in two growing environments (seasons), that is the rainy season under rainfed conditions and under irrigation in the cool dry winter season at different seed rates, i.e 60, 80, …

Assessment of Hard Red Spring Wheat Germplasm for Germination in Sub-Optimal Temperatures
<p>Early planting of hard red spring wheat (HRSW; Triticum aestivum L.) tends to extend the period of vegetative growth and can help maximize agronomic productivity. Improved germination performance in sub-optimal temperatures, or cold temperature germination tolerance (CTGT), is therefore a …

Root Rot Pathogens of Wheat in South Dakota and Their Affect on Seed Germination and Seedling Blight in Spring Wheat Cultivars
… root rot are the important root diseases in wheat (<em>Triticum aestivum</em> L.) and other cereals causing significant germination and yield losses in the Northern Great Plains and other parts of the world. <em>Bipolaris sorokiniana</em> (Bs) and <em>Fusarium graminearum</em> (Fg) cause …

Agronomic, quality, and genetic analysis of the Rht18 semi-dwarfing gene in a Canadian Western Red Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) background
Semi-dwarf wheat has historically resulted in reduced stem lodging, increased harvest index, and in some areas, improved yields. The Rht18 gene is known to reduce height in wheat, but there are currently no commercial varieties in Western Canada that contain this gene. In Western Canada the two …

Measurement of Cover Crop Evapotranspiration and Impacts on Water Management in Crop Production Systems
… in eastern South Dakota which in 2011 contained spring wheat followed by a cover crop and in 2012 contained field corn, and (2) utilization of Landsat imagery and the image processing model METRIC (Mapping Evapotranspiration at high Resolution using Internalized Calibration) to estimate …

Improving Genetic Analysis with Augmented Experimental Designs
… study in cotton and early generation trial in spring wheat were used to demonstrate the use of proposed models. With the use of generalized lattice model, the residual variance was reduced approximately by 65% for seed and lint yields in cotton and consequently, the heritability was increased …

US yield forecasting using crop condition ratings
… States, corn, soybeans, upland cotton, winter wheat, and spring wheat, and crop condition ratings from 1986 to 2015. Three statistical models were tested, the first one including all categories of condition ratings, a trend, and no intercept. The second model addresses the issue of abandoned …

Effects of wheat streak mosaic virus and interactions with other cereal viruses on wheat
… of plants. The effects of an Illinois isolate of wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) on yield of selected hard red spring wheat and soft red winter wheat cultivars were evaluated in three studies. In spring and fall of 1993 and 1994, twenty hard red spring wheat cultivars and fourteen soft winter …

Physiological aspects associated with mixed-nitrogen-induced increases in growth and tillering of wheat
… N nutrition) enhances growth and tillering of wheat. However, despite the potential benefits to productivity, limited information is available on the physiological basis for this response. Thus, the overall goal of this work was to determine the physiological aspects associated with …

Reproductive Ecology of Ring-Necked Pheasants in Central South Dakota's Winter Wheat Landscape
… the loss of grasslands, it is possible winter wheat may be an alternate nesting habitat for pheasants. Winter wheat is predominately undisturbed throughout the pheasant’s nesting season, and undisturbed habitat provides an effective environment for nesting hens to avoid predators. The …

Zinc fertilization of lentil in Saskatchewan to increase yield and grain zinc content
… as sufficient in soil Zn. In 2014, hard red spring wheat was seeded to assess the residual effects on a rotational crop. A companion pot study was conducted in a polyhouse that compared single rates of soil and foliar applied forms of Zn fertilizer: soil applied ZnSO4, foliar applied Zn …

Effect of nitrogen, sulfur, and potassium chloride fertilization on the baking quality of soft red winter wheat
Soft red winter wheat (Saluda c.v.) was fertilized using three treatments; urea, urea + KCl, and urea + sulfur. The wheat was harvested and milled and the flour produced was used to evaluate the baking quality of the wheat. Objective tests were performed on the flour samples. Significant …

Crop water stress under climate change uncertainty : global policy and regional risk
… Model and was evaluated for maize, cotton and spring wheat. A full climate model, the IGSM-CAM, was first used to force CLM-AG and show the regional disparity of the response to climate change. Some areas like the Midwest or Equatorial Africa benefit from the higher precipitations associated to …
