Title:
Evaluation of spring wheat cultivar performance on fallow in central
Montana. (4W2755)
Principal Investigator:
David M. Wichman, Agronomist, CARC – Moccasin
Objectives:
To evaluate the performance of spring wheat on fallow in central
Montana. Provide unbiased information on improved cereal cultivars for
producers to use in the selection of best suited cereal grain varieties for
central Montana and other areas with similar crop environments.
Results:
No off-station spring wheat trials were established on fallow by CARC staff. The majority of fallow acres
going into 2009 wheat were seeded to winter wheat in central Montana.
Summary:
No summary

MWBC FY2011 Grant Submission Plans:
Researcher is not certain at this time. Establishing spring wheat trials on fallow in central Montana is
not a top priority. Winter wheat generally produces much higher yields on fallow. Re-crop spring wheat
cultivar evaluations will continue to receive a higher priority than spring wheat on fallow.
