Seed Wheat Recommendations for 2006...

AgriPro Brand JAGALENE- Jagalene is a medium maturing variety with excellent straw strength. It is resistant to stem rust, leaf rust and soilborne wheat mosaic virus. It is moderately resistant to wheat streak mosaic virus and is susceptible to Hessian fly. Jagalene is widely adapted and demonstrates good disease resistance and drought tolerance. Jagalene was selected from the cross Abilene/Jagger. Certified seed is produced and marketed exclusively under the AgriPro brand name. U.S. Protected Variety (PVPA 1994). Certificate No. 200200160. Jagalene can only be sold as a class of certified seed.

WAHOO-Wahoo is a medium maturing, medium height variety similar to Arapahoe. Wahoo has performed well throughout most of Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. Early yield trials indicate Wahoo's best yield performance is in eastern Nebraska. It was tested under the designation NE94645. Wahoo has shown good to very good winter hardiness, a medium coleoptile length, and moderate straw strength. Wahoo is moderately resistant to stem rust, leaf rust, and Hessian fly and is susceptible to wheat streak mosaic virus, and barley yellow dwarf virus. Wahoo was developed by Nebraska and the USDA-ARS from the cross of Arapahoe/AbileneArapahoe. U.S. Protected Variety. Certificate No. 200100237. Wahoo can be sold only as a class of certified seed.

WESLEY- Wesley is a moderately early maturing, moderately short height variety with excellent straw strength. It was tested as N95L158. Wesley is bronze chaffed similar in color to Jagger. Compared to 2137, it has similar adaptation and yield on optimum production soils and sites in the central and northern Great Plains. Wesley is more winter hardy, about 2 days later heading, slightly shorter, with similar protein and test weight patterns, and a lower level of protection to some foliar diseases. It is genetically complementary to most varieties being grown in Nebraska. Wesley was derived from the cross Sumbner sib (Plainsman V/Odesskaya 51)//Colt/Cody. It was developed by the USDA-ARS in cooperation with Nebraska and co-released by those institutions with South Dakota.

2137-2137 is an early maturing variety of moderately short height, slightly taller than TAM 107 and Karl 92. It can be grown statewide and is best adapted to more productive soils and sites. Straw strength is very good to excellent. 2137 is well suited to irrigated production. Its above average resistance to residue-borne foliar diseases makes it a useful choice for reduced tillage/continuous wheat systems. 2137 is very susceptible to fusarium head scab. It has a moderately short coleoptiole, good tillering ability, and fair to good winterhardiness. Grain has average test weight patterns with acceptable milling and  baking qualities. 2137 was selected by Kansas State and USDA-ARS from lines resulting from the cross W2440/W9488//2163 made by Pioneer HiBred Int'l. U.S. Protected Variety. (PVPA 1994) Certificate No. 9600304. 2137 can only be sold as a class of certified seed.

2145- 2145 is an awned, white chaffed, semi-dwarf wheat with good straw strength. It is similiar to 2137 for maturity and is slightly shorter than Jagger. 2145 is a medium maturity variety with average winter hardiness. It has resistance to leaf rust, soilborne mosaic virus and moderate resistance to stem rust. 2145 was developed cooperatively by Kansas State Research and Extension and the Agricultural Research Service. It was evaluated as HBK630-4-5 and KS97P0630-4-5. Its pedigree consists of HBA142A/HBZ621A//Abiline. U.S. Protected Variety (PVPA 1994). Certificate No. 200200133. 2145 can only be used as a class of certified seed.
