29 FALLING NUMBERS

30 WHAT ARE FALLING NUMBERS? A measurement of flour quality Indirect measurement of alpha-amylase activity Process where starch in flour is gelatinized by rapid heating in boiling water bath Measurement is the time in seconds for a plunger to fall through the gelatinized starch mixture 300 seconds is the standard

31 MEASURING FALLING NUMBERS? Perten Instruments

32 Pre-harvest sprout FALLING NUMBERS Germination initiates prior to harvest Wet conditions at harvest Increased hydrolytic enzyme activity Soft white varieties more susceptible Late maturity alpha-amylase (LMA) Large temperature increase or decrease 26 to 30 days after pollen shed Both soft white and hard wheat affected CIMMYT

33 VARIABILITY IN FALLING NUMBERS Micro-environment differences within a field Sampling error in collecting small grain sample (truck or bin) Variability in the testing procedure

38 STRIPE RUST Favored by cool, wet weather In , disease levels were usually moderate in northern Idaho with some fields containing susceptible varieties experiencing high pressure Photos courtesy of WSU

39 2017 STRIPE RUST FORECAST Dr. Xianming Chen, USDA-ARS, Pullman Model to forecast stripe rust based on winter temperatures Low disease severity Highly susceptible varieties 6% yield loss Model does not account for snow cover Will have better estimation once wheat breaks dormancy Updated forecast expected in March
