Analysis of data from the hard red spring wheat varieties grown in cooperative plot and nursery experiments for yield and other agronomic traits

The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $136,380 cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support to conduct analysis of data from hard red spring wheat varieties grown in cooperative plot and nursery experiments for yield and other agronomic traits. The two-year award, issued on July 1, 2023 and concluding on June 30, 2025, will support the University's efforts to make agricultural research discoveries and evaluate alternative ways of attaining research goals under the USDA's Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001). Through this cooperative agreement, the University will analyze existing data from cooperative wheat variety trials to provide scientific and technical information on wheat yield and related agronomic characteristics to USDA researchers.
