Advanced Lines

A trial involving Advanced Lines from GQS_CO material was planted at two locations in Wisconsin, Madison and Arlington on May 30th and May 25th, respectively, for the 2012 season. This trial was planted at an average planting density of 32,800 plants/acre in duplicates in each of the locations. Temperatures for both locations were warmer than normal during planting and then rose well above average throughout July and August. Rainfall was far below normal for both locations and close to some of the driest on record. Significant rainfall was not seen until the end of July. The trial suffered under both the extreme temperatures and lack of precipitation during peak pollination. Advancement decisions were done taking both locations into account for yield and quality with growing conditions in mind. The GEM Quality Synthetic (GQS) Lines were developed in 2005 with the intent to create inbred lines that produce silage hybrids with high forage yield as well as superior nutritional quality when crossed to inbred lines from our non-Stiff Stalk Wisconsin Quality Synthetic (WQS) breeding population. The GQS population is ~75% Stiff Stalk. The Advance Lines trial consisted of the silage evaluation (yield and quality) of seven advanced lines from the GQSC0 population crossed to testers LH287, LH244, FR2108, and W604S. Seventeen different hybrids, both commercial and internal, were also included as experimental checks.
