The Wisconsin Winter Wheat Performance Trials are conducted each year to give growers information to select the best-performing varieties that will satisfy their specific goals. The performance trials are conducted each year at four locations in Wisconsin: Arlington, Chilton, Fond du Lac, and Sharon. Trials include released varieties, experimental lines from University breeding programs, and lines from private seed companies. The primary objective of these trials is to quantify how varieties perform at different locations and across years. Growers can use this data to help select which varieties to plant; breeders can use performance data to determine whether to release a new variety.

2015 Year in Review Acreage and Growing Conditions Wisconsin saw a 17% decrease in winter wheat acres planted (245,000) in the 2014 -2015 growing season compared to the previous year. 230,000 acres are forecasted to be harvested, compared to 250,000 in 2014. Despite poor establishment due to late planting and poor snow cover coupled with cold temperatures, winterkill was relatively isolated. The forecasted yield for the 2015 crop is 72 bu/A, up 7 bu/A from last year. Wheat establishment in the fall of 2014 was a challenge due to late plantings. Wheat germinated late and had poor tiller development prior to winter dormancy. This led to some thin spring stands and weed control problems. Wheat broke dormancy in April and continued to progress one to two weeks ahead of normal through heading. Frequent rainfall events delayed or prohibited many operations to the wheat crop including spring nitrogen, herbicide, and fungicide applications. Overall, winter wheat yield and test weights were average in 2015. Wheat yields at the Arlington, Chilton, Fond du Lac, and Sharon locations averaged 107, 112, 98, and 88 bu/A, respectively. (Source: USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (www.nass.usda.gov))

Diseases Statewide Fusarium head blight (FHB or scab) (F. graminearum) was the most widespread disease in 2015. At the Sharon location some plots had high (>20%) incidence of FHB with average severity ratings on heads near 50%. Leaf rust was present on some varieties in Sharon, but mostly 10% or less severity on flag leaves. Stagnospora/Septoria (Septoria spp.) leaf blotch was also present and variable depending on variety at this site. In Arlington, Fond du Lac, and Chilton, FHB incidence was lower and more variable than in Sharon, although some FHB could be found in most plots. Stripe rust (P. striiformis) was the predominant disease at the Arlington location, while leaf rust (P. triticina) was more common at the Fond du Lac and Chilton locations. Stripe rust at the Arlington location nearly defoliated all plants in some plots. Cephalosporium stripe (C. gramineum) was identified in some plots at the Fond du Lac trial site. Powdery mildew (E. graminis) was nearly non-existent at all locations for the third year in a row.

Using This Data to Select Top-Yielding Varieties As with any crop, variety selection is the most important factor to consider in maximizing winter wheat yield and profitability. When choosing a winter wheat variety, several factors must be considered. These include winter survival, insect and disease resistance, heading date, lodging, test weight, and most importantly, yield. Since no variety is ideal for every location, it is important to understand the crop environment and pest complex that affects your specific region to maximize yield.  Yield is based on the genetic potential and environmental conditions in which the crop is grown. Therefore, by diversifying the genetic pool that is planted, a grower can hedge against crop failure. Select those varieties that perform well not only in your area but across experimental sites and years. This will increase the likelihood that, given next year’s environment (which you cannot control), the variety you selected will perform well. (Table 2 gives an overview of yields across all locations.)  Test weight is also an important factor to consider when selecting a variety. The minimum test weight to be considered a U.S. #2 soft red winter wheat is 58 lb/bu. Wheat at lower test weights will be discounted. Both environment and pests may greatly affect test weight; therefore, selecting a variety that has a high test weight potential in your region is critical to maximizing economic gain.  Select a variety that has the specific disease resistance characteristics that fits your needs. By selecting varieties with the appropriate level of resistance, crop yield loss may be either reduced or avoided without the need of pesticides. Careful management of resistant cultivars through crop and variety rotation are required to ensure that these characteristics are not lost.  Plant height and lodging potential are also important varietal characteristics that may be affected by your cropping system. If the wheat crop is intended for grain only, it may be important to select a variety that is short in stature and has a low potential for lodging. This may decrease yield loss due to crop spoilage and harvest loss as well as increase harvesting rate. However, if the wheat crop is to be used as silage or is to be harvested as both grain and straw, then selecting a taller variety may be warranted.

Experimental Procedures At Planting

Harvest

Site details: Summarized in front cover image.

Yield: The center seven rows of each plot were harvested with a self-propelled combine. Grain was weighed and moisture and test weight were determined in the field using electronic equipment on the plot harvester. Yield is reported as bu/A (60 lb/bu) at 13.5% moisture content.

Seedbed preparation: Conventional and no-till methods. Seeding rate: 1.5 million seeds per acre. Seed treatments: Identified in Table 1. Fertilizer and herbicides: Nitrogen was applied in spring according to UWEX recommendations. Phosphorus and potassium were applied as indicated by soil tests. Herbicides were applied for weed control as necessary. Planting: A grain drill with a 9 row cone seeder was used to plant the plots, all 25 feet in length. To account for field variability and for statistical analysis, each variety was grown in four separate plots (replicates) in a randomized complete block design at each location.

Midseason Disease assessments: Foliar disease assessments were made at all trial locations during June at Feekes 11.1 (kernels milky ripe). Assessments were made in the field by visual estimation of incidence (number of plants with symptoms) and average severity (magnitude of damage on plants with symptoms) across the plot using pre-made rating scale diagrams generated using the Severity. Pro software (F. Nutter, Iowa State University). Fusarium head blight assessments were made at all trial locations at the same time as foliar assessments. Entire plots were visually assessed for Fusarium head blight incidence and severity using pre-made rating scale diagrams.

Lodging: Lodging scores were based on the average erectness of the main stem of plants at maturity. 1 = all plants erect, 2 = slight lodging, 3 = plants lodged at 45o angle, 4 = severe lodging, 5 = all plants flat.

Data Presentation Yield: Listed in Tables 2-5. Data for both 2014 and 2015 are provided if the variety was entered in the 2014 trials. Least significant difference: Variations in yield and other characteristics occur because of variability in soil and other growing conditions that lower the precision of the results. Statistical analysis makes it possible to determine, with known probabilities of error, whether a difference is real or whether it may have occurred by chance. Growers can use the appropriate least significant difference (LSD) value at the bottom of the tables to determine true statistical differences. Where the difference between two selected varieties within a column is equal to or greater than the LSD value at the bottom of the column, there is a real difference between the two varieties in nine out of ten instances. If the difference is less than the LSD value, there may still be a real difference, but the experiment has produced no evidence of it. Data that is not significant is indicated by NS.
