'ND Riveland' Durum (RFP-300)

Description

ND Riveland has high yield potential, good quality and low cadmium (Cd) uptake. It also has very good test weight, large kernels, medium maturity and medium resistance to leaf diseases. ND Riveland performed well in the Uniform Regional Durum Nursery and has good yield potential across the state of North Dakota.

It had higher yield than all the varieties tested in the variety trials across North Dakota. ND Riveland has good straw strength. Compared with Carpio and Joppa, ND Riveland is taller, has higher test weight and larger kernel size.

ND Riveland is resistant to both leaf and stem rust diseases, similar to Carpio. ND Riveland had the lowest Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease severity among all varieties tested in field and greenhouse screening nurseries. ND Riveland had lower DON accumulation than Carpio.

ND Riveland had lower Cd uptake than all varieties tested, including the well known low Cd uptake Canadian variety, AC Strongfield. End use quality characteristics of color and firmness are very favorable for ND Riveland. ND Riveland was named in honor of Neil Riveland for his significant contributions to ND agriculture. Neil was a research agronomist and assistant director at the Williston Research Extension Center.
