Genotypic Differences

Genotypes of spring wheat and triticale exhibited significant differences in spike harvest index (SPHI). SPHI averaged 78% over genotypes and experiments. Genotype SPHI differed by up to 13% units. SPHI, however, was not correlated with either plot harvest index, or grain yield.Key words: Spike harvest index, genotypic differences, spring wheat, Triticum aestivum L.

Crop residues are important components of conservation tillage systems, but little information is available on genotypic differences in residue production, particularly with regard to the differences between semidwarf and conventional (tall) genotypes. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of genotype and environment on height and non-grain residue production of semidwarf and conventional-height wheat (Triticum spp.). Locally adapted semidwarf and conventional height common (T. aestivum L.) and durum (T. turgidum L. var. durum) wheat genotypes were grown in up to three environments (fallow, irrigation, and stubble) during the years 1983 to 1988, and 1991. Residue yields of semidwarf and conventional genotypes, and of short and tall conventional genotypes, were compared within and between wheat classes. Within classes, residue yield of semidwarf genotypes tended to be lower (P < 0.05) than that of conventional genotypes. Residue yield of the semidwarf HY320 from the high yielding Canada Prairie Spring class was similar to that of the conventional Canada Western Red Spring cultivar Neepawa. Within the conventional height group, the tallest genotypes tended to have higher residue yields than the shortest genotypes, although the differences were not consistent. Residue yield differences among genotypes were associated with variation in grain yield, plant height, and harvest index. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., T. turgidum L. var. durum, harvest index, plant height.

Rate Interaction

Eight cultivars of spring wheat, Triticum aestivum L., were evaluated at seeding rates of 110, 270 and 430 seeds/m2 in a total of nine experiments spanning three locations, two dates of seeding and 2 yr. Grain yield exhibited a significant cultivar × experiment × linear response to seeding rate interaction. Grain yield of Pitic 62 showed a significant decrease with increased seeding rate in one experiment while giving the greatest increase in another. Over all experiments, the highest seeding rate gave the highest grain yield. For straw yield, Chester showed the greatest response to seed rate, Canuck the least. With the exception of Canuck, which showed a significant increase in harvest index with increased seeding rate, harvest index tended to be greater at the intermediate seeding rate.

Tiller Mortality

A diverse collection of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) germplasm was evaluated for tillering capacity, spikes m−2, and tiller mortality under both space-planted and solid-seeded conditions. Large genotypic differences were observed for these tillering traits over a 3-yr period. Grain yield did not appear to be associated with tillering capacity or mortality.Key words: Wheat (spring) Triticum aestivum L., germplasm, tillering capacity, tiller mortality, grain yield

Milling Properties

Biggar red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) combines high grain yield potential with semidwarf stature and wide adaptation. Biggar has improved end-use suitability relative to HY320 such as harder kernels, better flour milling properties, greater water absorption, and stronger gluten properties. It received registration No. 3089 and is eligible for grades of Canada Prairie Spring (red). Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat (spring), high yield, cultivar description

Dry Matter Accumulation

A 3-yr study was conducted on three Orthic Black Chernozemic soils to determine the effects of incremental N fertilization on grain yield and dry matter accumulation and distribution of six spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. Urea (46–0–0) was sidebanded at seeding in 40 kg N ha−1 increments from 0 to 240 kg ha−1 in the first year and from 0 to 200 kg ha−1 in the 2 subsequent years. Nitrogen fertilization increased the grain and straw yields of all cultivars in each experiment. The predominant factor affecting the N response and harvest index of each cultivar was available moisture. At two of the three sites, 91% of the interexperiment variability in mean maximum grain yield was explained by variation in root zone moisture at seeding. Mean maximum total dry matter varied by less than 12% among cultivars, but mean maximum grain yield varied by more than 30%. Three semidwarf cultivars, HY 320, Marshall and Solar, had consistently higher grain yield and grain yield response to N than Glenlea and Katepwa, two standard height cultivars, and Len, a semidwarf. The mean maximum grain yield of HY 320 was the highest of the cultivars on test and those of Katepwa and Len the lowest. Len produced the least straw and total dry matter. The level of N fertilization at maximum grain yield varied among cultivars, sites and years. Marshall and Solar required the highest and Len the lowest N rates to achieve maximum grain yield. The year-to-year variation in rates of N fertilization needed to produce maximum grain yield on a specific soil type revealed the limitations of N fertility recommendations based on "average" amounts and temporal distribution of available moisture.Key words: Wheat (spring), N response, standard height, semidwarf, grain yield
