Outputs
OUTPUTS: The objective of the South Dakota State University spring wheat breeding program is to steadily increase agronomic performance and end-use quality parameters of Hard Red Spring Wheat. This objective is primarily met through applied plant breeding techniques carried out with close collaborations with the departmental small grains pathology and crop performance testing groups. Additional information on end-use quality parameters is provided by the USDA/ARS Hard Red Spring Wheat Quality Laboratory in Fargo, ND. Since 2004, an improved cultivar has been released by the program every other year. Granger, Traverse, and Brick were made available to growers in 2004, 2006 and 2008 respectively. Multi-year trials have revealed that these three cultivars outperformed their most competitive predecessors Briggs in more than 50 percent of direct comparisons. End-use quality parameters associated with these varieties have also been improved with time. The experimental line SD3948 has been recommended for release as a new cultivar prior to the 2010 growing season. Over three years of comparison, SD3948 has also outperformed Briggs in a majority of direct comparisons and has excellent end-use quality parameters. Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight (scab) is currently a major focal point within the program. Both Brick and SD3948 possess levels of scab resistance that are statistically better than Ingot, a moderately resistant cultivar released by the program in 1998. PARTICIPANTS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. TARGET AUDIENCES: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts
During the 2000 crop year, over half of the hectares within the three state (MN, ND, SD) spring wheat production region were sown to cultivars released by the South Dakota State University Hard Red Spring Wheat breeding program. These new high-yielding cultivars produce nearly 250 kg/ha of additional grain when compared to older cultivars they are meant to replace. This equates to an approximate increase of $70,000,000 annually to on-farm income over the region. Additionally, these cultivars possess elevated end-use qualities. This may serve to increase the value of South Dakota wheat in domestic and international markets.

OUTPUTS: The objective of the South Dakota State University spring wheat breeding program is to steadily increase agronomic performance and end-use quality parameters of Hard Red Spring Wheat. This objective is primarily met through applied plant breeding techniques carried out with cooperation from the departmental small grains pathology and crop performance testing groups. Additional support in the determination of quality parameters is provided by the USDA/ARS Hard Red Spring and Duram Wheat Quality Laboratory in Fargo, ND. Since 1990, an improved variety has been released by this program approximately once every 1.5 years. Over three years of direct comparison, our newest variety 'Traverse' which was made available to growers prior to the 2006 growing season, outperformed its most competitive predecessors, 'Briggs' and ' Granger ', by producing 123.1 and 222.6 kg/ha greater yield, respectively. During the same comparison period, Traverse produced grain with test weight and
protein concentrations (721.4 kg/cubic meter and 139 g/kg respectively) that were generally similar to Granger and Briggs. Statistically separable differences became detectable among these end-use quality parameters upon comparison with varieties nearly a decade old. Growers are primarily interested in yield potential and therefore, the greatest selection intensity is generally placed upon yield potential. This could explain the slower rate of genetic advancement among quality characters. The experimental line SD3851 is our next potential release. Though still under consideration, its high yield potential, along with test weight and flour quality characteristics that are on par with, or greater than, other modern varieties combine to suggest that this line holds much promise. Our fifth year of advanced observation on SD3851 will occur in the 2008 growing season. If SD3851 retains its ability to perform as in previous years, a recommendation for release as a cultivar will be presented
to the variety release committee during fall 2008. Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight (scab) is currently a major focal point within our program. Briggs and Granger each possess levels of scab resistance that are statistically similar to 'Ingot', a moderately resistant variety released by the SDAES in 1998. When directly compared over five test years, the scab resistance level of Traverse is, however, statistically higher than that of Ingot. The same is true with SD3851. In some tests, SD3851 is significantly more resistant than Traverse. If SD3851 is released as a variety in 2009, it will be the most scab resistant variety developed by this program.

Impacts
During the 2000 crop year, over 50% of the hectares within the three state (MN, ND, SD) spring wheat production region were sown to varieties derived from the South Dakota State University breeding program. Although this percentage has declined, during 2006 approximately 78% of the hectares sown to spring wheat within South Dakota were done so with varieties developed from this program. These new high-yielding varieties produce nearly 250 kg/ha of additional grain when compared to older varieties that they have replaced. This equated to an approximate increase of $70,000,000 annually to on-farm income over the region. Additionally, these varieties possess superior milling and bread-making qualities. These qualities may serve to increase the value of South Dakota wheat in domestic and international markets.

During the same comparison period, Granger produced grain with test weight and

Our fourth year of advanced observation on SD3687 will occur in the 2005 growing season. If SD3687 retains its ability to perform as in previous years, a recommendation
