    SOUTHERN IDAHO DRYLAND WINTER WHEAT Southern Idaho Dryland Winter Wheat Production Guide Editors: Larry D. Robertson, Stephen O. Guy, and Bradford D. Brown BUL 827 1 SOUTHERN IDAHO DRYLAND WINTER WHEAT Southern Idaho Dryland Winter Wheat Production Guide Basic Recommendations • Winter wheat production can be improved and input costs reduced with good knowledge of growth and development. Learn to recognize the various growth stages and the impact of various management inputs. • Make an annual production management and marketing plan prior to beginning the crop season. • Minimize the number and intensity of tillage operations before and after winter wheat crops to control soil erosion, reduce water loss and soil compaction, and improve soil productivity. • Use rotations and cultural practices to minimize weed, disease, and insect problems, and reduce chemical use. • Choose varieties carefully with appropriate disease resistance, maturity, and quality characteristics for the intended use. • Prepare seedbeds carefully to conserve adequate moisture for germination and emergence, and to ensure good seed-soil contact. Seed at the proper time, depth, and rate for the chosen variety. • Use only high quality seed. Plant certified seed to ensure seed purity and viability. • Soil test to determine nutrient needs. Apply only the amounts of nutrients needed and at the proper time to avoid nutrient loss, wasted inputs, and environmental contamination. • Control weeds, insects, and diseases through variety choice, timely scouting, and application of the correct pesticides at the correct time and rate. • Plan ahead for storage and marketing needs. Become familiar with alternative marketing options. • Adjust combine properly to reduce kernel damage and dockage. • Store the crop in clean, insect-free bins, and check frequently for developing trouble spots.

  • System for the Evaluation of Malting Quality of Wheat Varieties
    KVASNÝ PRŮMYSL Kvasny prumysl (2020) 66: 232–238 https://doi.org/10.18832/kp2020.66.232 System for the evaluation of malting quality of wheat varieties Vratislav Psota*, Markéta Musilová Research Institute of Brewing and Malting Mostecká 971/7, 614 00 Brno Czech Republic *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract A new system for the calculation of malting quality of wheat varieties was designed. The malting parameters affected by a variety more than by a year or a site were used in the system. These parameters include wort viscosity, soluble nitrogen content, free amino nitrogen content, diastatic power, final attenuation of wort, and extract of malt. The sys- tem was used to assess the malting quality in 38 wheat varieties. The point value of each parameter was calculated using the regression equations, and the total value of the malting quality of wheat was determined by the modified “superiority measure” method. The results of the assessment of the wheat malting quality showed considerable dif- ferences between the varieties. Several varieties exhibited a more pronounced tendency to accumulate nitrogenous substances in grain. Some varieties, even with a slightly higher content of nitrogenous substances, provided above average malt quality. The set included the varieties that exhibited the optimal content of nitrogenous substances in grain, yet they did not give malt of good quality. Spring wheat varieties Alondra, Anabel, and Seance achieved signif- icantly above average malting quality. Dagmar, Evina, Sultan, Rumor, Sailor, and Brokat exhibited slightly above aver- age malting quality. The proposed system for monitoring malting quality of wheat varieties can help find the varieties suitable for the production of quality wheat malt.

  • TYPES of WHEAT Six Basic Classes Did You Know There Are Six Basic Classes of Wheat?
    TYPES OF WHEAT Six Basic Classes Did you know there are six basic classes of wheat? Wheat is the principal U.S. cereal grain for export and domesti c consumpti on. It is also the fourth leading U.S. fi eld crop and our leading export crop. Wheat has two disti nct growing seasons. Winter wheat, which accounts for 70-80 percent of producti on, is sown in the fall and harvested in the spring or summer. Spring wheat is planted in the spring and harvested in late summer or early fall. There are several hundred varieti es of wheat, which fall into one of six classes. Where each class is grown depends on rainfall, temperature, soil conditi on and traditi on. In additi on to ti me of year that they are planted and harvested, wheat classes are also determined by hardness, color and shape of kernels. Hard Red Winter - The dominant U.S. export class and Durum - The hardest of all wheats, and consistently the largest class produced each year, Hard Red Winter the class with the lowest export volume, Durum is produced in the Great Plains states, a large interior accounts for less than 5 percent of all U.S. wheat area extending from the Mississippi River west to the exports. It is grown in the same northern states Rocky Mountains and from Canada to Mexico. With as Hard Red Spring, although 70-80 percent of the a wide range of protein content, good milling and annual producti on comes from North Dakota.

The objective was to produce nutritious, tasty gluten-free (quinoa) as well as gluten-containing (wheat) flatbreads. Flatbreads were Quinoa Peanut Oilcake Broccoli (QPCBROC), Wheat Peanut Oilcake Broccoli (WPCBROC), Quinoa Peanut Oilcake Beets (QPCBEET) and Wheat Peanut Oilcake Beets (WPCBEET). Peanut Oilcake would increase protein and add value to this farm byproduct. Bile acid binding broccoli and beets with cholesterol-lowering potential were used. Tasters preferred QPCBROC flatbreads for all sensory parameters. Acceptance of flatbreads was QPCBROC (83%), WPCBROC (70%), QPCBEET (78%) and WPCBEET (69%); these values were statistically similar. The objective of 25% protein content was exceeded by 5–8% and that ≥ of 70% acceptance was adequately achieved. These flatbreads were low in fat (5–6%) and contained ≥ essential minerals (4%) with only 1% added salt. Porosity and expansion data suggest that these ≤ flatbreads would take up relatively little shelf space. These flatbreads require only three ingredients and can be made in a household kitchen or by commercial production.

  • SRL120 Keeping up with Research: Hard White Winter Wheat for Kansas
    This publication from the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service has been archived. Current information is available from http://www.ksre.ksu.edu. HARD WHITE WINTER WHEAT FOR KANSAS Gary M. Paulsen* Wheat is Kansas’ most important crop, and many changes in varieties and production methods have occurred over the years. Turkey hard red winter wheat was not the first type grown by early settlers. However, it quickly became the predominant variety after its introduction in 1874 because of excellent adaptation to the state’s climate and soils. Modern varieties still retain much of the genetic heritage of Turkey, but they are more productive and shorter, mature earlier, and have greater resistance to pests and winter-killing than the original variety. An even greater change—from red grain to white grain— might occur during—the next few decades. Wheat sci- entists at the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, in other states, and at private companies have been working for over 20 years to develop improved vari- eties of hard white winter wheat for their regions. Many of these programs have advanced lines that could be released for production in the near future. What Is Hard White Winter Wheat? Hard white winter wheat is similar to hard red win- ter wheat. The plants are alike and both have hard grain endosperm for making bread, but the color of the seed coat (bran) is different. Bran color is deter- mined by one, two, or three major genes that don’t affect other plant traits. The original Turkey hard red winter wheat had three genes for red bran, but many modern varieties of hard red winter wheat have only one or two of these genes.
