SPRING WHEAT ADVANCED STATION
Advanced Station Nursery: Twenty varieties or strains - triplicate three row plots
This nursery is made up of promising strains of wheat produced at the Dickinson Experiment Station, and from which are selected candidates for advanced state and regional nurseries. Quality trials are made on sixteen of the most promising strains each year by the Department of Cereal Technology, State College Station, Fargo North Dakota.
Yields in this trial were quite comparable to yields from nursery trials already reported. Mida, included in this trial as check variety, averaged 14.9 bushels per acre which was exceeded by eight of the eighteen Dickinson selections. Highest yield in this trial was 16.9 bushels per acre from Ds. 224 , a selection from the cross Regent x Mida2, made by Mr. Ralph W. Smith, former agronomist at this station.
Unfortunately many of the older strains included in the Station nurseries lack resistance to leaf rust which practically rules out the possibility of their ever finding widespread use as commercial varieties. The high yielding capacity of many of these strains makes them extremely useful in the wheat breeding programs, however, and since 1948 one main objective of the breeding work here has been to improve the rust resistance, meanwhile maintaining or improving, if possible, the yielding capacities which have already been obtained. Although it is too early to predict results, progress has been made on these lines.
Milling, Baking and Analytical data from this trial has been completed by the Department of Cereal Technology, State College Station, Fargo, North Dakota for the 1952 crop. Their data indicates that several of the entries are good from the milling and baking standpoint, exceeding both Mida and Thatcher checks in some of the important determinations. Several of these entries have a strong mixogram type, a good loaf volume and a good flour yield in comparison with Mida and Thatcher checks.
Data from field trials are presented in table 39.
Milling, Baking and Analytical data on selections from this nursery are summarized in table 40.
