Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The Eastern Colorado winter wheat trials are conducted under a broad range of environmental conditions to best determine expected performance of new varieties. We have a regional uniform variety testing program, meaning that dryland varieties entered in our northeast region are tested across our seven test locations in northeast Colorado, and varieties entered in our southeast region are tested across our six test locations in southeast Colorado. All irrigated varieties are tested in all three irrigated trials across northeast Colorado. In the dryland trials, there were 46 varieties tested, including experimental lines across the two regions of the 13 total dryland trial locations. The three irrigated trials had 23 varieties each. The variety trials included a combination of public and private varieties and experimental lines. Seed companies with entries in the variety trials included AgriPro Syngenta, CROPLAN by WinField United, Limagrain Cereal Seeds, and Meridian Seeds. There were entries from the Colorado marketing organization PlainsGold, the Kansas Wheat Alliance, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Crop Research Foundation of Wyoming.
