Abstract

Winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the foundation of many agricultural enterprises in the southern Great Plains and is grown primarily as either a grain‐only (GO) or a dual‐purpose (DP, grazing plus grain) crop. Traditionally, cultivars are developed in GO systems. Because of genotype × system interactions, the DP environment may compromise gains in grain yield accrued in GO‐developed cultivars. Forage traits for 24 sets of populations (each with unique pedigree) were used to test benefits of tailoring breeding programs for DP wheat. Each set came from the same F 2 source and contained a base (B) F 3 bulk population and F 5 bulk populations mass selected from the F 2 within either a GO or DP system. Forage biomass and forage total N and nitrate were measured at the start of fall grazing. Nearly always, the effect of selection environment was consistent across genetic backgrounds. Effect of selection environment on forage biomass of each nursery was significant at P = 0.09 and P = 0.07. In 2001, DP‐derived populations produced about 5% less than GO‐derived populations; in 2002, the selection effect was not significant ( P = 0.38 and 0.30). Selection environment had a significant effect on forage total N, but not nitrate levels. Total N in DP selections was slightly greater (2.5%, P < 0.05) than those from B and GO selections. Forage nitrate was affected by genetic background; mean nitrate‐N among the 24 backgrounds ranged from 1.3 to 3.1 mg g −1 in 2001 and 0.4 to 1.3 mg g −1 in 2002. Selection in the DP system appears to offer equal or slightly less fall forage biomass without greatly changing forage total N and nitrate concentrations.
