FALLING NUMBERS & PNW WHEAT 2016
• Low falling numbers widespread but sporadic
• Two causes
• Sprout
• LMA (late maturity alpha amylase)
![Page 4: FALLING NUMBERS & PNW WHEAT 2016€¦ · PNW WHEAT 2016 DOUG FINKELNBURG UI –EXTENSION • What is the Falling Numbers Test? • Factors Affecting FN • Late Maturity Alpha-amylase](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071607/61443bb7aa0cd638b460b945/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHAT IS “FALLING NUMBERS?”
• The test measures the physical properties of grain starch.
• The test does not directly measure enzyme activity.
• The result (the falling numbers value) gives an indication of the starch
quality as affected by sprout damage.
• Grain buyers may have discounts for wheat with below a 300 second
falling number value.
• Wheat with sprout damage will significantly impact the end-use quality of
the flour and the products made with that flour.

Millers and Bakers (end users) are risk averse
Suppliers cannot go to the limit with low FN (if it is amylase
generated)
Sensitivity
Just two visibly sprouted kernels added to 200 grams [~5500 to 6500
kernels] of sound wheat (0.03%) reduced FN by 100 seconds

FACTORS AFFECTING FALLING
NUMBERSprout damage
• Sprout damage
• Nitrogen fertilization – FN increases with N rate
• Temperature – lower temps = lower FN, temp shocks • LMA
• Fungicide treatments – is cultivar dependent (UK)
• Fusarium infection – small decrease in FN
• Varieties – LMA or Partial waxy wheat – lower FN
![Page 11: FALLING NUMBERS & PNW WHEAT 2016€¦ · PNW WHEAT 2016 DOUG FINKELNBURG UI –EXTENSION • What is the Falling Numbers Test? • Factors Affecting FN • Late Maturity Alpha-amylase](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071607/61443bb7aa0cd638b460b945/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ALEURONE
High and low temperature shocks damage aleurone cells, causing leakage of cell components and enzymes
Wheat kernel diagram
Wheat is particularly vulnerable to temperature shock 25-30 days after anthesis (flowering)

MANAGING LOW FALLING NUMBERS
• If FN is within 25 seconds of 300 – RE-TEST
• Blending is not a good option
• Small amounts of amylase lowers the whole lots falling number score
• Storage
• Long term (~40 day) storage in warm, dry space may help FN in sprout damaged grain
• Baking quality continues to degrade even as FN increase
• Insurance
• RMA has some coverage for LFN losses at some level
• Genetics

MANAGING LOW FALLING NUMBERS
• Three LMA genotypes in wheat:
Constitutive (high LMA genotypes under all environments)
Inducible (high LMA produced under some environments,
especially cold shock)
Non-LMA genotypes
• UI, WSU, OSU, commodity groups via Wheat
Marketing Center working to clarify
• Currently no publicly released list of LMA genotypes in
commercially released varieties

2016 GROWING SEASON TAKE-AWAY
Water not yield limiting factor
Early spring put crop ahead of normal
development
Area crops at critical stage of development when
temps swung widely – leading to LMA vulnerability
Rains prior to harvest – lead to sprout vulnerabilty
