Abstract

AbstractFusarium head blight continues to be a threat to spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the north‐central region of the United States. ‘Lang‐MN’ (Reg. no. CV‐1182, PI 687038) hard red spring wheat was released by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2017 because it combines the best available Fusarium head blight resistance with high grain yield, grain protein concentration, and good end‐use quality characteristics. Lang‐MN is a mid‐late maturity cultivar that also has acceptable lodging resistance despite its above average plant height owing to its lack of the semi‐dwarfing genes Rht‐B1 or Rht‐D1 but presence of Rht24. Lang‐MN has good resistance to the prevalent races of leaf rust, stripe rust, and stem rust and is well adapted to the north‐central United States.
