Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The Hard Red Spring Wheat Uniform Regional Nursery (HRSWURN) was planted for the 86th year in 2016. The nursery contained 26 entries submitted by 8 different scientific or industry breeding programs, and 5 checks (Table 1). Trials were conducted as randomized complete blocks with three replicates except where noted. The HRSWURN was planted at 16 locations in 4 different states in the USA (MN, ND, SD, MT) and Canada (Brandon, Swift Current). All locations provided data included in this report (Figure 1, Table 2). Data summaries for each of the reporting locations are presented in individual tables. For each location summary, entries are listed in descending order of yield. Overall means across locations for a set of core traits are summarized in Table 19, and yield rankings for individual locations are found in Table 20. Entries were also evaluated for various diseases at different locations; these can be found by looking at individual location data summaries. Leaf rust and stem rust resistance was evaluated in St. Paul, MN. These results are presented in Tables 21-22. Entries were also evaluated for stripe rust resistance in Washington state (Table 23). Entries were evaluated in Fusarium head blight nurseries at Crookston and St. Paul, MN; these results are provided in Tables 24 and 25. Molecular marker genotyping for select agronomic, quality and disease resistance traits was also performed; this information is presented in Table 26. The highest average yielding location was Crookston, MN, with 86.2 Bu/Ac, while the lowest yielding location was Hettinger, ND, with 27 Bu/Ac.
