Narrative
Adapted to USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5 of the Prairie Parkland or tallgass prairie ecoregion of the Midwest, USA. When grown in this region, produces more forage than the previously available cultivar, Mandan, and its forage had high in vitro dry matter digestibility and high protein concentration in comparison to another promising accession in a sward trial. Primary use will be in conservation and grassland plantings as a component of seeding mixtures. Was evaluated and tested using the experimental strain designation NE3. Uniformity was evaluated by collecting data from 130 spaced lants in the initial seed increase nursery at Mead, NE in 1996 on 3 year old plants. Mean and standard deviation (in parenthesis) for the following traits were: heading date 197(7) day-of-year, plant height 130(15) cm, flag leaf height 106(15) cm, flag leaf length 22.7(3.5) cm, flag leaf width 15(2) mm, head length 161(22) mm, head width 17(3) mm, and awn length 30(7) mm. Seed increase procedures are those that are required for certification of other self-pollinated grasses.

Pedigree
Description:
Direct increase of a bulk collection or accession of seed from Canada wildrye plants growing in a small remnant prairie near Lincoln, NE. Selected from other accessions that were collected from remnant prairie sites in the Midwest states based on space-transplanted evaluation trials at Mead, NE, Ames, IA and West Lafayette, IN during a three year trial.
