PULLMAN SOFT WHITE WINTER WHEAT – 2005 WSU VARIETY TESTING DATA  

1.       2005 Soft Winter Wheat YIELD DATA from the WSU Variety Testing nursery at the Pullman location averaged 140.3 bu/ac and was similar to the historical 3-year average (138.7 bu/ac).  NOTE:  The Pullman nursery was located approximately 8 miles southeast of Pullman on Sand Road (N. Druffel & son’s farm).

2.       YIELD RANKING trends among varieties at this location remained fairly consistent with the historical yield rankings.  The 2005 growing season was conducive to conducive to increased plant height and associated high levels of lodging in this nursery.

3.        Average PLANT HEIGHT was 42.7 inches in 2005 compared to 35.3 inches in 2004 – over 5-7 inches taller in 2005.  LODGING averaged over 46% at the Pullman location.   Varieties and experimental lines prone to lodging such as those that have Eltan in their pedigrees exhibited some of the highest levels of lodging and generally had the lowest yields in the nursery. 

4.       STRIPE RUST was generally not an issue in this soft white winter wheat nursery except in susceptible varieties. Varieties that appeared to show yield partial reductions from stripe rust infections were Edwin, Rely and Dune.  The majorities of other varieties/experimental lines appeared to have sufficient high temperature – adult plant resistance or were able to withstand moderate levels of stripe rust.
