Abstract
Conquer, an orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin) resistant hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), combines good agronomic performance with good resistance to leaf rust, stem rust, stripe rust, and common bunt. Conquer had similar maturity, acceptable straw strength, and higher test weight as compared with check cultivars. Based on end-use quality analyses, Conquer has acceptable quality for the Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat market class.
