[1] Yield values corrected to 15.5% moisture content and assume 56 lb/bu test weight. Bolded values indicate highest LSD grouping. 

[3] For differences between varieties that are equal to or greater than the LSD value, the chance that the difference is significant is 90%.

[4] Mean performance of all plots in the trial.

[5] Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of a trial, and lower than 15 indicates a high-quality trial. For CV>15, there was higher than expected variability in the field or the data and the results should be used with caution.

 

Site InformationDetails
Collaborator:UNL Stumpf International Wheat Research Center, Grant, NE; Justin Richardson, Farm Manager
Planting Date:6/10/2025
Target Seeding Rate:65,000 seeds/a
Harvest Date:11/14/2025
Fertility:9 gal 10-34-0 in furrow at planting
Soil Type:Kuma and Alliance silt loams
GPS:40.844425, -101.686936
Planting Info: Planted 1.25” into no-till wheat fallow (wheat in 2023) with good soil moisture
Notes on Trial:Fairly uniform stands, but lower than ideal assuming a 65,000 s/a target and 85% germination. Early season vigor was uneven but overall yields reflected an average harvest and lower yielding varieties generally corresponded to those with later maturities.
