‘Infinity CL’ (Reg. No. CV-982, PI 639922) is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ) cultivar developed cooperatively by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS and released in 2005 by the developing institutions. Infinity CL was released primarily for its herbicide tolerance to imadazoline compounds which control many previously difficult to control weeds in wheat production systems, and for its superior adaptation to rainfed wheat production systems in Nebraska and counties in adjacent states. The name Infinity CL was chosen because it is a Clearfield wheat that will be used with Beyond herbicide {active ingredient …

Substituting a short-season, spring-planted crop for summer fallow when soil water is sufficient at planting might reduce soil degradation without significantly increasing the risk of crop failure. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship of crop grain or forage yield to plant available soil water at planting. The study was conducted on silt loam soils in 2004 and 2005 at Sidney, NE, and Akron, CO. A range of soil water levels was established with supplemental irrigation before planting. Four crops [spring triticale (X Triticosecale rimpaui Wittm.) for forage, dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) for grain, …
