In DP Barcode 308470 (N. Dodd 11/16/05), HED indicated (as part of
Deficiency #4) that “the wheat field trials are not adequate in number
or geographic representation.  Because the data for the winter wheat
treated in the fall will not be used, the number and geographic
representation for the wheat field trials are not adequate.  An
additional 8 field trials are needed for adequate geographic
representation as follows: 1 trial in Region 2, 1 trial in Region 4, 1
trial in Region 5, 1 trial in Region 6, and 4 trials in Region 8.”

HED has now determined that the wheat field trials are adequate in
number and geographic representation.  The winter wheat treated in the
fall (MRID 46012904) will not be used for forage and hay data since the
proposed use does not include a fall application, but acceptable data on
forage and hay are available from winter wheat treated in the spring
(MRID 46012905).   Since the “winter wheat treated in the fall (MRID
46012904)” was treated in the fall before harvest of forage and hay
but was also treated in the spring before harvest of grain and straw,
the grain and straw data represent a spring application and can be used.
 Therefore, adequate data are available for all four commodities
(forage, hay, grain, and straw) and the field trials are adequate in
number and geographic representation.
