ADVANCED LINE EVALUATION<br />

Varieties currently grown in Minnesota were evaluated with 17 new experimental lines in<br />

advanced trials c<strong>on</strong>ducted at St.Paul, Morris, Crookst<strong>on</strong>, Stephen and Rosseau. Two<br />

lines were submitted for their first year of pilot scale testing M109 (M95/Lacey) and<br />

M110 (M932-117/M95). These lines were also included in the Mississippi Valley<br />

Nursery. Both lines M109 and M110 show a significant yield advantage over the<br />

varieties Stander and Lacey based <strong>on</strong> two years of advanced yield trial data (Table 3).<br />

Maturity is similar to Robust while height is between Lacey and Stander. In terms of<br />

malting quality these lines are distinctly lower than Robust in grain protein, similar in<br />

wort protein, and slightly higher in alpha amylase (Table 4).<br />
