“…As for lime rates, from one to three tonnes per hectare, contribution was made to the higher values of the wheat quantitative traits but to a much lesser extent as compared to the variant with 2 tonnes. The results obtained throughout this study are similar with those reached by numerous authors, suggesting a positive effect of the liming on the wheat quantitative traits (Lukin , 2003;Zhang et al, 2004;Brown et al, 2008). However, different lime rates were used because of the different physicochemical properties of soils treated.…”

The effect of the use of different lime rates on the pH values and subsequently on the quantitative traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. 'Novosadska rana 5') was investigated on the pseudogley type of soil. Of the quantitative traits in wheat, spike length, number of spikes per m 2 , grain mass per spike, number of grains per spike and 1000-grain weight, were studied as the most significant indicators of its yield. The studies were carried out during 2010 and 2011. The trial was set up following a randomized block design with four liming variants along with three replications, in which the experimental field was 70 m 2 in area. In both study years, along with the previously determined experimental conditions, the variant of CaCO 3, used with an amount of 2 t/ha, was found to have the highest effect on enhancing all the parameters of wheat. Based on the results obtained throughout the current research work, it could be inferred that, despite falling under a lower quality class, pseudogley soil could promote usable optimal biological potential of the wheat variety ('Novosadska rana 5'), if adequately treated with lime along with the application of cropping practices.

“…In 2013, 17.4 million ha of winter wheat were planted in the USA, about 27 % of which were planted in the southern Great Plains including Oklahoma (2.2 million ha) and Texas (2.5 million ha) (USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service). Zhang et al (2004) reported that approximately 70 % of winter wheat fields planted in Oklahoma are used for winter forage production such as grazing, hay or silage, and about 49 % of the wheat fields are managed for dual-purposes (Hossain et al 2004). The considerable amount of forage production in the southern Great Plains could be attributed to the sufficient growing degree-days to produce 120-150 days of wheat pasture for grazing (Holman et al 2010) and it is common practice to graze winter wheat during winter months in the regions (Epplin et al 2000).…”

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been widely grown as a winter forage crop in the southern Great Plains. However, development of wheat cultivars for winter forage production has not been a major goal of wheat breeding programs in the USA. Also, little information on forage yield and nutritive value of currently grown wheat varieties is available. The objective of this study was to test 15 wheat varieties to compare their forage yield and nutritive value and to identity superior varieties for winter forage production. The field trials were conducted during three growing seasons in southern Oklahoma. There were significant effects of variety, clipping-date, and environment for mean forage yield. The mean forage yield of the varieties ranged from 2,200 kg ha -1 for NF95134A to 1,655 kg ha -1 for Forage Max. The crude protein content varied from 24.2 to 20.8 %. When mean forage yield and crude protein yield were considered, NF95134A was the best variety for the tested regions. However, when low detergent fiber content and high energy value were considered, Forage Max was the best variety in the tested environments. When forage production, especially during the coldest months December through February was considered, NF96107A and NF96131 produced the best forage yield. This study showed that significant differences in forage yield and nutritive value existed among the winter wheat varieties and the results of the study could provide useful guidelines for livestock producers and for forage wheat breeding programs.

“…In the southern Great Plains, winter wheat has been grown for grain only, forage only, or both forage and grain (Carver et al, 2001;Epplin et al, 2000). Zhang et al (2004) reported that about 70% of winter wheat grown in Oklahoma was managed for winter forage production including grazing or hay production, and Hossain et al (2004) reported that approximately 49% of the winter wheat was managed for dual purposes. Stichler and Livingston (1999) previously stated that a major advantage of winter wheat compared with other small grain species that could be grown for winter forage production is its excellent tolerance to abiotic stresses including cold and drought.…”

Genetic Diversity of Great Plains Hard Winter Wheat Germplasm for Forage

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been widely grown for winter forage production across the world. However, improvement of forage yield and nutritive characteristics has not been a major goal of wheat breeding programs, and little is known about genetic diversity in the traits of winter wheat germplasm. A set of 299 hard winter wheat germplasm from the Great Plains was evaluated during two growing seasons in Oklahoma and 15 forage‐related traits were evaluated. There were significant (P < 0.0001) genetic variations in all the traits but effects of environment and germplasm × environment interaction were significant for seven and eight traits, respectively. A significant portion of the variation for forage traits was due to genetics, indicating an ability to breed for improved forage traits. Dry matter yield (DMY, kg ha−1) of the germplasm ranged from 1260 for Cheyenne to 4158 for Sturdy2K. Crude protein (CP, g kg−1) ranged from 161 for OK05108 to 268 for Nuplains. When crude protein yield (kg ha−1) was considered, Sturdy2K was the best germplasm, followed by 2180 and OK1068009. State of origin of the germplasm was also a significant source of variation for most of the traits. Heading date was positively and negatively associated with CP and DMY, respectively. This study identified significant genetic variations of the hard winter wheat germplasm for forage traits and the results of this study could provide useful guidelines for winter forage wheat breeding programs.
