Areas of Research

Approximately 75% of Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSW) acres in South Dakota are sown to cultivars developed by the SDSU-HRSW breeding program. The primary objective of the SDSU-HRSW breeding program is to continually improve grower profitability through genetic advancement of agronomic, disease resistance and end-use quality characteristics associated with new cultivars.

  • 'Surpass' - 2015
  • 'Boost' - 2015
  • 'Focus' - 2014
  • 'Prevail' - 2013
  • 'Forefront' - 2012
  • 'Advance' - 2012
  • 'Select' - 2010
