H.  aEvaluation of semidwarf selections from a spring wheat breeding program.  c1960  aSemidwarf selections averaged 5 to 9 inches shorter than standard varieties, depending on location of the planting. Yields and test weights were essentially equal, indicating that high yielding, short-straw spring wheats can be produced. The shortness of the semidwarfs is due chiefly to shorter peduncles but the other internodes also are shorter. Both types responded similarly to nitrogen fertilizer, but the standard varied more in plant height than the semidwarf.  aMelhoramento  aNanismo  aTrigo1 aBERG, M. A.1 aKLAGES, M.
