sp. tritici Eriks) evaluation, conducted at the USDA-ARS Cereal Rust Laboratory in St. Paul, MN, found SD 8036 to be resistant to races QFBS, RHRS, TNMH and TNMK and moderately resistant to HJCS, QSHS, and RKQS. Data from regional field tests indicate that it is resistant to leaf rust (incited by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici) and that it has adult plant resistance to stem rust. Overall milling and baking quality is rated as fair. Grain protein content is medium to low, being less than Butte but slightly higher than Marshall. The flour extraction is generally low (3 to 4% less than Butte). Bake absorption is similar to Butte but less than Len. Mixing characteristics and loaf volume are good. The combination of only fair quality and straw strength were the primary reasons for not releasing SD 8036 as a cultivar. Small amounts of seed of SD 8036 may be obtained upon written request to Dr. Fred A. Cholick, Dep. of Plant Science, South Dakota State Univ., Brookings, SD 57007.
