Soft White Winter Wheat Varieties

 

AgriPro AP700 CL (Clearfield)

·         High yield potential with good straw strength

·         Early maturity with good test weight

·         Good 2006 and 2007 snow mold tolerance at St. Andrews and Waterville, respectively

·         Good stripe rust resistance

·         Good yields in both high and intermediate rainfall

·         Imi tolerant for grassy weed control

 

AgriPro Salute
An Agripro release with snow mold tolerance.
  Salute has very good winter hardiness and a very high yield potential in intermediate to higher rainfall regions. With a strong disease package and early emergence, it adds economic value over other soft white winter wheat varieties. With a medium to early maturity, Salute can be used to complement other maturities on your farm.  Broadly adapted, Salute has performed very well all across eastern Washington, north of Highway 2, and northern Idaho.  Very high yield potential; Medium maturity; Good stripe rust resistance; Good straw strength; Well adapted

 

Brundage 96 (ID-B-96)
A Brundage re-selection from the University of Idaho Moscow program of Bob Zemetra.
 It has improved stripe rust resistance as compared to Brundage.  Like Brundage it is also an awnless, short semi-dwarf with superior end use quality.  It has good winter hardiness and matures similar to Stephens.  Test weight is poorer than Brundage and less even than Stephens.  Brundage 96 together with Brundage is apparently less tolerable of moisture stress than Stephens.  It is lower yielding than irrigated Stephens, particularly under late planting conditions.

 

Coda (WA7752)
1998 WSU club variety release.
 Awned.  High yield potential for dryland.  Strawbreaker foot rot and stripe rust resistant.

 

Lambert
A white-chaffed, awned, semidwarf variety released by University of Idaho AES, USDA-ARS in 1993.
 Lambert is an early maturing variety with above average height.  It is primarily intended for use in northern Idaho.  Lambert can be grown under irrigation but plant height may prevent use with wheel lines.  In southern Idaho dryland trials, Lambert yields have been higher than Sprague and Eltan in a limited number of trials.  Lambert is resistant to stripe rust and has some tolerance to Cephalosporium stripe.  Lambert is susceptible to dwarf bunt and has moderate tolerance to snow mold.  It should not be used where dwarf bunt is prevalent.  Protein content of Lambert is equal to Stephens and higher than Kmor and Eltan.  Milling and baking quality is considered excellent.

 

Mohler

Mohler is a soft white winter wheat for the Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho.  Mohler is a high yielding variety adapted to a wide range of growing conditions.  This variety also has good winter hardiness and is several days earlier than Madsen.  Mohler has resistance to strawbreaker foot rot and is resistant to leaf and stripe rust.  This variety thrashes very clean, and the straw breaks down more easily than Madsen.

 

ORCF 102 (OSU Clearfield)

An imidazolinone-tolerant cultivar. Awned, white chaff, medium-tall height, mid season maturity, winter hardiness similar to Stephens. Resistant to strip rust. Release Year: 2004 Provider: OR

 

Simon (ID034302A)
A 2003 UI release from Bob Zemetra.  Simon is a replacement for Madsen that is earlier maturing.  The first UI release with foot rot resistance, Simon has good Cephalosporium stripe and stripe rust resistance.
 It is taller than Stephens but has good straw strength and lodging resistance.  Test weight is better than Stephens. 

 

WestBred 528 (BZ6W98-528)
A WestBred release available fall 2005.
 WestBred 528 yields as well as and has lodging resistance comparable to Stephens.  WestBred 528 has excellent test weight and good baking and milling quality.

 

Xerpha
A WSU Steve Jones 2008 release that is widely adapted to irrigated and dryland conditions throughout Washington and Oregon.  Quality is acceptable for a soft white winter wheat.  Xerpha, was named after a former WSU botanist, and wife of Edward Gaines, a former WSU agronomist.
