Abstract

The opening of a new durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) mill in Ohio and the premium prices paid for durum led to an examination of the feasibility of successfully producing Hungarian winter durum wheat in Ohio and the rest of the soft red winter reheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (SRWW) region. The grain yields and agronomic characteristics of three promising Hungarian winter durum wheat cultivars, 'Basa', 'Minaret', and 'Pannondur', were compared to those of Ohio SRWW cultivars, 'Cardinal' and 'Dynasty', in seven field trials from 1989 to 1991, at Wooster, OH. Mean Hungarian winter durum grain yields were 20%, 48%, and 53% of Ohio SRWW in 1989, 1990, and 1991, respectively. Mean plant densities for the Hungarian durums improved from 49% in 1989, to 71% and 93% in 1990 and 1991, respectively [...]
