Trial Results 2005
Compiled by Joel K. Ransom, Extension Agronomist and Brian Sorenson, Extension Wheat Quality Specialist
The following preliminary information is based on research conducted during the 2005 growing season. The final report will be published as NDSU Extension Circular A-1067 and will be
available on the Internet at www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/aginfo/variety/index.htm when completed. Additional performance data for other sites in the state are available at Research and Extension Center’s websites.
The following experiment station scientists, plant breeders, cereal chemists, and plant pathologists provided the data presented in this article: E. Elias - Durum Breeder; Frank Manthey -
Cereal Science; T. Friesen – USDA; J. Rasmussen, T. Adhikari, S. Ali, M. McMullen, R. Stack - Plant Pathology; B. Schatz, S. Zwinger – Carrington; P. Carr – Dickinson; E. Eriksmoen – Hettinger; B. Hanson – Langdon;
M. Halvorson – Minot; Neil Riveland – Williston.

*Wheat protein is reported on a 12% moisture basis
**Mixograph: 1=very weak and 8=very strong dough mixing properties indicating strong gluten proteins
***Spaghetti Color Score: Higher number indicates better color, with 8.0+ typically considered good
****Overall Quality is determined based on agronomic, milling and spaghetti processing performance
*****Rugby is desired for certain pastas such as bow-ties, but not for long goods (e.g., spaghetti)
Note: Varieties grown at fewer than five locations are not included in this table.
