Significant levels of heterosis were demonstrated in F1 yield trials from crosses between three spring and three winter wheats (T. aestivum L.): Thatcher × Winalta, Cypress × Kharkov 22 MC, and Lee × Cheyenne. Yields up to 40% higher than those of the spring wheat parent were attributed to heterosis resulting from hybridization of genetically diverse spring and winter types. To our knowledge this is the first published report of heterosis for yield in F1 hybrids between spring and winter wheat cultivars. This information has significance in both hybrid wheat and conventional breeding programs.

A newly released F1 hybrid wheat (Hybrid Titan) was compared with its parents and three commercial check cultivars in yield trials over 16 site years. Mid-parent heterosis varied considerably (100-127%) over the sites and averaged 111%. However, high-parent and high-check cultivar heterosis levels were much lower (99-119%), most likely a consequence of the low yield of the male parent. A concurrent seeding rate trial showed that lower levels of heterosis resulted if the seeding rate of the hybrid was reduced below that of the parent and check cultivars. Quality tests performed on the harvested grain showed some characters deviating considerably from expected values. The most significant of these were lower milling yield, flour protein content, and water absorption. The T. timopheevi nucleo-cytoplasmic system for producing hybrid wheat was implicated as having likely side effects on yield performance and quality. The study emphasized the need for both parents to be high-yielding and to have good combining ability for both yield and quality.

The efficiency of adjustments employing repeated controls was compared with the efficiency of moving mean adjustments in yield of wheat. Results reported show the moving mean of adjacent hybrid plots to give superior control of the experimental error. The best number of adjacent controls was tested and found to vary widely from test to test. Plant breeders may have to run several analyses to obtain the most accurate adjustment. An analysis of covariance was made on some trials to see if this technique would avoid overadjustment and give lower error variance. With few exceptions neither the use of covariance nor control plots gave as great a reduction in error variance as the optimum adjustment obtained by using the moving mean of adjacent plots.
