Michigan State Wheat Breeding and Genetics Published 2023 Wheat Variety Performance Trials

By Eric Olson, Dennis Pennington et.al

The 2023 State Wheat Performance Trial entries were planted in seven counties: Isabella, Hillman, Ingham, Huron, Montcalm, Sanilac and Tuscola.

Seven of our experimental sites are on private farmland. We are extremely grateful to those growers for accommodating our work and all of the associated inconveniences. Funding for the high-management trial inputs was provided by the Michigan Wheat Program.

This is the 2nd webinar in a 3-part series hosted by Flowers Canada Growers on Thrips parvispinus IPM. Biocontrol programs developed for western flower thrips do not appear to be effective against Thrips parvispinus. This webinar will examine what makes T. parvispinus different and how insights into its biology and behaviour—including chemical ecology, host plant preferences, and defensive responses—can help improve monitoring and management strategies. This webinar was recorded July 16, 2026. Guest speakers include: Jessie deHaan (Vineland Research), Dan Bath (Vineland Research), Laxmi Khadka (Vineland Research), Ashley Summerfield (Vineland Research), Sarah Jandricic (OMAFA), Avery Johnson (AAFC / University of Guelph).
