Paper 738.http://openprairie.sdstate.edu/agexperimentsta_bulletins/738B 735 November 1999 Heavy test weight Excellent milling and baking qualities Exceptional bushel weight, clean threshing, good bread-making quality, and tolerance to scab are the most significant features of 'Ingot' hard red spring wheat. An "ingot" is a bar of gold or silver; the variety name marks Ingot as having heavy test weight along with its excellent milling and bak­ing qualities. The South Dakota Agricultural Experimental Station (SDAES) released Ingot in 1998. Certified seed is available for the 2000 sea­son. Application for U.S. Plant Variety Protection under Title V has been made, requiring seed of Ingot be sold only as a class of cer­tified seed. Origin Ingot is an F4 derived line from the cross 'SD3080' /'Dalen' made in 1989. SD3080 is a SDAES experimental line with both 'Butte' and 'Butte 86' in its pedigree. Dalen is a 1991 release from AgriPro. The F1 plants of Ingot were grown at Yuma, Ariz., during the winter of 1990-1991. Individ­ual F2 plant selections were made at Brookings in 1991 and later grown in Yuma the following win­ter (1991-92) as plant rows. The plant rows in Arizona were har­vested as rows and used to plant F2:4 yield trials and a space-plant­ed nursery at Brookings in 1992. Based on yield trial data, individ­ual plants were chosen within the selected populations. Populations were selected based on grain yield, test weight, and bread-making characteristics. Individual plants were visually selected for resist­ance to prevalent foliar pathogens, namely leaf rust and stem rust. R.G. Hall, Extension agronomist, and Jackie Rudd, spring wheat breeder Plant rows were grown in Yuma during the winter (1992-93), and F4:6 yield trials were conducted at Brookings in 1993. Based on yield performance and disease resist­ance, the line was promoted to first-year replicated yield trials in 1994 with an experimental desig­nation of SD3249. Seed was increased by the South Dakota Spring Wheat Breeding program from 1994 through 1996. Breeders' seed was produced in 1996, and Foundation seed was produced in 1997 with release to Class I grow­ers for planting in 1998. Agronomic characteristics The most significant features of Ingot are its very high test weight, good bread-making quality, and tol­erance to scab. It has been in South Dakota crop performance trials since 1995 and in the Uniform Regional Spring Wheat Nursery since 1996. It was tested by the Wheat Quality Council in 1997. Compared to Butte 86, Ingot is similar in grain yield, heads one day earlier, stands slightly taller, is 2 pounds/bushel higher in test weight, and is slightly higher in protein. In South Dakota the perform­ance of Ingot relative to other pop­ular varieties is dependent on the amount of Fusarium head scab in a given year. If there is little or no scab pressure, Ingot yields are sim­ilar to Butte 86, 'Sharp,' and '2375,' but about 2 to 4 bushels/acre less than 'Russ' and 'Oxen.' Under these conditions Ingot will still weigh about 1 to 2 pounds more in test weight than these popular vari­eties. If there is high scab pres­sure, Ingot will tend to outyield Butte 86, Sharp, and 2375 and be similar in yield to Russ and Oxen. In this case, Ingot will again still tend to be heavier in test weight. Although Ingot may yield slightly less or be equal in yield to other varieties across a wide range Table 1.
