Survival of wheat varieties in the Great Plains winterhardiness nursery, 1930-1937
1938
Quisenberry, K.S.
A uniform winterhardiness nursery has been grown in the Great Plains of the northern United States and in Canada since 1919. A summary of the data from 1930 to 1937 is presented. The object of the nursery is to obtain information on the relative winterhardiness of various varieties of winter wheat. Lutescens 0329, Buffum No. 17, and Minhardi are the most hardy winter wheats available. Some hybrid strains seem to combine quality of grain and yield with relatively high winterhardiness. In a general way the varieties studied may be placed in four groups for hardiness: Lutescens 0329 and Minhardi and a few hybrid strains in the hardy group; Minturki, Turkey (C.I. 6152), and Nebraska No. 60 in the mid-hardy group; Cheyenne, Kanred, Oro, and Kharkof in the slightly hardy group; and Quivira, Blackhull, Tenmarq, and Early Blackhull in the tender group. Between the extremes the varieties may be arranged in a gradually descending series from hardy to tender.
