Yield Responses

In experiments with two cultivars of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) conducted under irrigation at two locations for 2 years, average grain yields of Pitic 62 were 30% higher than those of Manitou but protein content was 20% lower. Pitic produced 3% more total protein than Manitou. Yield responses to N fertilizer ranged from nil to 2139 kg/ha for Manitou and from 941 to 2778 kg/ha for Pitic. The maximum rate of application of N from which a yield response was obtained by Manitou was 110 kg/ha and by Pitic was 165 kg/ha. In 1 year at one location the protein content of Pitic was lower from the first N increment and that of Manitou from the first two increments than those of wheats from plots that received no N. The maximum rate of N from which protein increases were obtained was 220 kg/ha for both cultivars. It is possible to grow wheat with high protein content on irrigated land.

Grain Yields

A long-term rotation experiment was established in 1951 to determine the influence of summerfallow frequency and organic amendment on the yield and quality of unfertilized spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on a Dark Brown Chernozem (Typic Haploboroll) at Lethbridge, Alberta. Wheat was grown either continuously (W), in a 2-yr summerfallow-wheat rotation (FW), or in a 3-yr fallow-wheat-wheat rotation (FWW). No fertilizer N was applied and P, at 22 kg ha−1, was applied to all wheat crops starting in 1985. The 3-yr rotation was also amended with livestock manure (FmWW) and modified to include a hay mixture of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L.) (FWWHHH). Annual grain production was affected by summerfallow frequency and organic amendment, with the lowest grain production obtained in the FW rotation. Amendment with livestock manure resulted in the highest grain yields for wheat grown on summerfallow, while 3 yr of hay in the rotation produced the highest stubble wheat yields. These higher grain yields were accompanied by a 12–31% increase in grain N uptake. Decomposing hay roots increased plant-available N as reflected in the highest grain N concentration and grain N yield in the FWWHHH rotation. Evaluation of grain yields under a range of moisture deficit conditions revealed that a year of summerfallow was often insufficient to recharge soil water depleted by 3 yr of hay in the FWWHHH rotation. Both summerfallow and stubble wheat yields were positively influenced by May rainfall. Overwinter precipitation contributed significantly to the variability observed in stubble wheat and hay yields. In the absence of fertilizer N additions, organic amendments such as animal manures and hay residues are effective means of increasing crop productivity and grain quality in semiarid regions. Key words: Hay, manure, rotation, spring wheat, summerfallow, Triticum aestivum L.

Milling Properties

Biggar red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) combines high grain yield potential with semidwarf stature and wide adaptation. Biggar has improved end-use suitability relative to HY320 such as harder kernels, better flour milling properties, greater water absorption, and stronger gluten properties. It received registration No. 3089 and is eligible for grades of Canada Prairie Spring (red). Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat (spring), high yield, cultivar description

Dry Matter Accumulation

A 3-yr study was conducted on three Orthic Black Chernozemic soils to determine the effects of incremental N fertilization on grain yield and dry matter accumulation and distribution of six spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. Urea (46–0–0) was sidebanded at seeding in 40 kg N ha−1 increments from 0 to 240 kg ha−1 in the first year and from 0 to 200 kg ha−1 in the 2 subsequent years. Nitrogen fertilization increased the grain and straw yields of all cultivars in each experiment. The predominant factor affecting the N response and harvest index of each cultivar was available moisture. At two of the three sites, 91% of the interexperiment variability in mean maximum grain yield was explained by variation in root zone moisture at seeding. Mean maximum total dry matter varied by less than 12% among cultivars, but mean maximum grain yield varied by more than 30%. Three semidwarf cultivars, HY 320, Marshall and Solar, had consistently higher grain yield and grain yield response to N than Glenlea and Katepwa, two standard height cultivars, and Len, a semidwarf. The mean maximum grain yield of HY 320 was the highest of the cultivars on test and those of Katepwa and Len the lowest. Len produced the least straw and total dry matter. The level of N fertilization at maximum grain yield varied among cultivars, sites and years. Marshall and Solar required the highest and Len the lowest N rates to achieve maximum grain yield. The year-to-year variation in rates of N fertilization needed to produce maximum grain yield on a specific soil type revealed the limitations of N fertility recommendations based on "average" amounts and temporal distribution of available moisture.Key words: Wheat (spring), N response, standard height, semidwarf, grain yield
