Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: ‘ND Frohberg’ (Reg. No. CV-XXXX, PI698310) is a hard-red spring wheat (HRSW) developed at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (NDAES) in 2020. It was tested as experimental line NDHRS16-13-97 and released because of improved straw strength, yield potential, strong disease resistance and end-use quality. ND Frohberg is moderately resistant to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici), leaf rust (Puccinia triticina), bacterial leaf streak (Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa) and Fusarium head blight (caused by Fusarium graminearum). The name ND Frohberg was chosen to honor Dr. Richard Frohberg, hard red spring wheat breeder at NDSU for 37 years (Figure 1). During his tenure at NDSU, Dr. Frohberg’s varieties were widely cultivated, reaching as much as 65% of the acreage in North Dakota in 2003 (USDA-NASS 2003). He was responsible for the cross that resulted in this variety. ND Frohberg was selected from the cross ND709-9/ND2902. ND709-9 was an experimental line with the pedigree (ND 2709/3/’Grandin’*3//’Ramsey’/ND 622). ND2902 was an experimental line with the pedigree (ND674//ND2710/ND688).
