1 Refers to agent or developer: NDSURF = North Dakota State University Research Foundation; CDC = Crop Development Center, University of Saskatchewan; Can = Agriculture Canada.; N. Star G.= North Star Genetics.  2 R = resistant; MR = moderately resistant; M = intermediate; MS = moderately susceptible; S = susceptible; VS = very Susceptible. * Yield and/or quality often higher than expected based on visual head blight symptoms. 3 Argent is a hard white wheat with good bread making qualities. 4 MR in artificially induced epidemics.  5 M in artificially induced epidemics. 6 MS in artificially induced epidemics. Bold varieties are those released in 2005. NA indicates that there is insufficient information available to make an accurate assessment. 

Table 2. 2004 analytical milling and baking data from field plot variety trials at Carrington, Casselton, Dickinson, Hettinger, Langdon, Minot and Williston (unless noted). Analyses Conducted at the NDSU Hard Red Spring Wheat Quality Laboratory.

1 Scale 1-8 where 1=weak and 8=very strong dough mixing properties with a value of 6-7 optimum for most customers.
2 TS = traditional strong, ES= extra strong.
3 Mill and Bake Quality Rating scale 1 to 5 stars with 1 being low and 5 being superior. “New” varieties are those with insufficient
   data to assign end-use quaiity rating.
4 Gluten Strength and Mill & Bake Quality Ratings are preliminary, based on one year of data.
