Abstract
Description
This article is regarding annual trials comparing standard varieties and experimental lines of hard red winter wheat that are conducted at most of the agricultural experiment stations in North Dakota. The per cent survival is evaluated in late April. A visual estimate of the per cent surviving plants is recorded. Yield and disease data also are collected. The level of winterhardiness that a variety possesses probably is the most important factor to consider in choosing which variety to grow. Winter wheat has survived with good stands in some areas of southwestern North Dakota in recent years and with good survival, excels spring wheat for yield.
