Synopsis Synthetics of crested wheatgrass did not outyield check varieties at close row spacings. As spaced‐plants, however, synthetics outyielded checks in the Syn.1 generation. Lower yields in the Syn.2 and Syn.3 generations indicated inbreeding. Outcrosses of the Syn.2 generation of synthetics showed slight hybrid vigor.
