Interpretive Summary: Fusarium head blight continues to be a threat to spring wheat production in the north central region of the U.S. ‘Lang-MN’ hard red spring wheat was released by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2017 because it combines the best available Fusarium head blight resistance with high grain yield, grain protein concentration and good end-use quality characteristics. Lang-MN is a mid-late maturity cultivar that also has acceptable lodging resistance despite its above average planting height, owing to its lack of the common semi-dwarfing genes Rht-B1 or Rht-D1. Lang-MN has good resistance to prevalent races of leaf rust, stripe rust, and stem rust and is well-adapted to the north central U.S.

Technical Abstract: Fusarium head blight (caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) continues to be a threat to spring wheat production in the north central region of the U.S. ‘Lang-MN’ (Reg. No. CV-____, PI 681618) hard red spring wheat was released by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2017 because it combines the best available Fusarium head blight resistance with high grain yield grain protein concentration and good end-use quality characteristics. Lang-MN is a mid-late maturity cultivar that also has acceptable lodging resistance despite its above average planting height, owing to its lack of the common semi-dwarfing genes Rht-B1 or Rht-D1. Lang-MN has good resistance to prevalent races of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks.), and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) and is well-adapted to the north central U.S.
