Research Project:
DEVELOPMENT OF FHB RESISTANT SOFT WHITE WHEAT VARIETIES FOR MICHIGAN AND SIMILAR ENVIRONMENTS
Project Number: 0500-00053-002-48
Project Type:
Grant
Start Date: Apr 24, 2006
End Date: Apr 23, 2009
Objective:
Accelerate development, multiplication and release of commercially viable varieties and advanced generation lines of soft white winter wheat which are both adapted to Michigan and exhibit resistance to damage by Fusarium Head Blight.
Approach:
Utilize the breeding strategy of hybridization followed by successive generations of single plant progeny evaluation in the field, followed by extensive replicated multi-location trials.
