Results Of The Thirteenth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1981, S. L. Kuhr, C. J. Peterson, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt
Results Of The Thirteenth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1981, S. L. Kuhr, C. J. Peterson, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This is the thirteenth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U. S. Department of Agriculture, under contract number AID/ta-C-1093 with the U. S. International Development Corporation, Agency for International Development. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes; (3) test …
Evaluation Of Crested Wheatgrass Introductions For Forage Yield And Quality, K. P. Vogel, P. E. Reece, J. F. S. Lamb
Evaluation Of Crested Wheatgrass Introductions For Forage Yield And Quality, K. P. Vogel, P. E. Reece, J. F. S. Lamb
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Crested wheatgrass, Agropyron cristatum and A. desertorum, are among the most important cool-season forage grasses in the United States and Canada, particularly for reseeding arid range sites. Further improvement in this grass by breeding depends on identifying sources of genetic variability for forage yield and quality. Foreign introductions are an obvious source of genetic variation since crested wheatgrasses are introduced species. In this study 38 accessions (PI lines) and 8 Nebraska experimental lines were evaluated for forage quality as measured by in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and protein content and for forage yield. The cultivars 'Ruff' and 'Nordan' …

Breeding Wheat Varieties For Acid Soils, I R. Barclay
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Wheat varieties with improved tolerance of acid soils cold increase yeilds be perhaps 20 per cent or more over a substantialarea ofWestern Australia's eastern wheatbelt.
Aluminium toxicity is probably the main cause of poor root growth and therefore reduced yields on these soils.
Crop Variety Testing And Recommendations, H M. Fisher
Crop Variety Testing And Recommendations, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
From 1984 onwards, the Department of Agriculture's crop variety recommendations for Western Australia will be set out in a new format directly related to the 18 variety testing areas into which the South-West has been divided. These divisions should enable growers to more readily identify the recommendations which apply to their area. In addition, yield data on the varieties are provided for each area.
The recommendations are the culmination of a lenghty process of breeding, selection and testing of crop varieties. This article gives the background to the tests and how the results are used as the basis for the …
