A computer program, WAS, Wheat Analysis System, (15),(16), stores, calculates, retrieves, grades, and tabulates the milling and baking data contained in this report. Groups of samples are logged-in according to breeder nursery or other organization and assigned sequential NURSERY numbers beginning with 1 for each new crop year. Additionally, the nursery name, LOCATION, and the submitter are recorded. This information, including the Crop Year (YEAR) and Mill-type: Short-quad (SQ),Quad (Q), Buhler (B), Miag (M), Wheat Sample (W) or flour sample (F), appears at the top of each page of the nursery report. WAS uses these records to generate the index of nurseries.
The WAS also assigns sequential sample numbers (SAMPLE#), and records additional descriptive information under the headings, VARIETY, BREEDER#, and CLASS. The following is a list of abbreviations used as column headings in the tables of data. Refer also to the Methods and Interpretation of Data sections for more detailed explanations of data generation, computation, and interpretation.
%BFYELD
Break flour yield (percentage flour from break rolls by weight of total products, short flow method)
%BRAN
Bran recovered (percentage bran from break rolls by weight of the total products, short flow method)
%MIDDS
Unground middling stock (percentage middlings from break rolls by weight of the total products, short flow method)
%PFYELD
Potential flour yield equal to break flour and unground middling stock (percentage by weight of the total products, short flow method)
