Oat Varieties

SABER ~ IL02-8658 - Saber is an early maturing oat developed by the University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station. Over the last two years Saber was placed in the top LSD group at 15 of 16 locations and was the highest yielding line numerically in 10 of 18 locations. The pedigree of Saber is Tack/Spurs. Saber is about two days earlier than Jay and has the same heading date as Don. It is about 4cm shorter than Chaps. The test weight of Saber is very good and has been about 1.4lbs/bu higher than Jay and about 2.2 lbs/bu higher than Chaps. Saber is tolerant to BYDV with an average of 3.1 (0-9 scale where 0=very tolerant) compared to 4.5 for Jay and Chaps. Saber is susceptible to lose smut and is moderately resistant to moderately susceptible to crown rust. Saber has light yellow kernels with kernel color similar to Ogle. Saber will be released as a public variety and PVP has been applied for.

Wheat Varieties* (Soft Red Winter Wheat)

AG 1189 (NEW!) - Three years of advanced trials have proven Ag 1189 to be a consistent performer throughout the Soft Red Winter Wheat growing area. It is early, moderate in height, averaging 33-36 inches under a wide range of growing conditions, and soils. It is a very leafy variety with a long, awned head. Ag 1189 has proven its ability to stand up to extremely severe weather conditions of too much rain, not enough rain, high heat during grain fill and to produce acceptable yields under low fertility management. It has high test weight, stands well against high winds near harvest and holds tight its grain when many other varieties tend to shatter high percentages of grain. Ag 1189 is a variety that takes advantage of opportunities to produce expected yields.
AG 2581 - AG 2581 is a medium height variety normally averaging less than 36 inches in height under good fertility with excellent straw strength. The disease package is quite exceptional which allows it to perform well in all environments found throughout the Soft Red Winter Wheat growing area. It has shown a unique ability to remain one of the top performers under disease attacks of fusarium, stripe rust and barley yellow virus. Where conditions are favorable and under high fertility levels it has a proven record of performing with and, in many cases, well above the industry leaders. In a word "it works."
INW0412 - Awned - This variety has proven to be a real champion in total performance over a wide area of the SRW Wheat area. It is tall with willowy straw that has proven excellent standability through harvest. Test weight normally runs from 61 to 64 lb. per bushel. It has exceptional winter hardiness, surviving wet, cold, late planted conditions and still producing over 86 bu. per acre. It tillers profusely and produces long, well filled heads that mature together. This variety responds well to all levels of management and while it is tall it responds with very high yields of high quality, heavy grain when placed under high management. It has proven yields over 140 bu. per acre.
INW0731 - This variety has consistent high performance, medium height, typically 35-37 inches tall, good straw strength, early — one day later than Patterson, and is awnless. It has excellent pastry-baking qualities. It has partial resistance to fusarium head blight (FHB), yellow dwarf viruses, leaf rust, soilborne mosaic, and wheat spindle streak mosaic. Due to its large root volume and partial yellow dwarf resistance, its performance in 2007 was high and conspicuously consistent in Purdue and other performance trials, because of the widespread infection of yellow dwarf and the dry soil conditions in Indiana and many areas of Eastern U.S.
INW0803 (92226E2532-17) - This variety is short and stiff-strawed, and is an excellent choice for high management to maximize yield. It is early like Patterson, moderate test weight and has very good soft wheat milling and baking qualities. It has resistance to soilborne mosaic and powdery mildew, has H9, has moderate resistance to Septoria tritici blotch and Stagonospora nodorum blotch, stripe rust, stem rust, powdery mildew and soilborne mosaic, and is moderately susceptible to leaf rust and yellow dwarf viruses.
INW1021 (P02444A1-23-9) - INW1021 has consistently been in the top group of entries in yield. INW1021 has Fhb1 (moderate FHB resistance), the Lr37Yr17Sr38 rust resistance linkage block, good soft wheat milling and baking qualities and the Bx70e strong gluten allele; the Rht1 dwarfing allele and the Ppd daylength insensitive allele (one reason for its wide adaptability). Plant height of INW1021 is similar to that of Patterson and Bess, it is awnless, has large spikes, tillers well and has moderately strong straw. It has moderate resistance to fusarium head blight, yellow dwarf virus, wheat spindle streak mosaic virus, soilborne mosaic virus, leaf, stem and stripe rusts, powdery mildew, stagonospora nodorum blotch, septoria leaf blotch, and is susceptible to Hession fly biotype L. INW1021 typically heads 1 day earlier than Patterson (1 day later than Clark) in southern IN and 1 day later than Patterson (3 day later than Clark) in northern IN (a bit unusual… but probably because INW1021 has the Ppd daylength insensitive allele).
INW1131 (NEW!) - INW1131 was performance tested as line 99751RA1-6-3-94 in multi-location tests in Indiana since 2007, and in tests in surrounding regions since 2009. INW1131 typically produces grain yield similar to or statistically not less than leading current cultivars. INW1131 has acceptable pastry wheat milling and baking qualities, matures 2-3 days later than the early maturity cultivar Patterson, depending on latitude of the test location; has awnlets 1/16 to 5/16 inch long in the tip ½ of spikes, has yellow anthers, glumes are yellow at maturity, has strong straw that is typically 33 to 36 inches tall, and is moderately cold tolerant. An important contribution of INW1131 is it's effective resistance to fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum, the same fungus that causes ear and stalk rot in corn, and that also produces the vomitoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). INW1131 has effective Type I (reduced percentage of spikes that become infected) resistance, together with moderate Type II (reduced spread of the disease within infected spikes) resistance to FHB; and DON content in the grain is consistently significantly less than in susceptible cultivars. INW1131 has highly effective resistance to Hessian fly, and moderate resistance to stagonospora glume blotch, septoria leaf blotch, barley yellow dwarf virus, wheat spindle streak mosaic virus, and leaf- and stem rusts. Given its effective, but not complete, resistances to most of the important diseases, especially FHB, in Indiana and the Eastern US region along with highly variable seasonal weather patterns, some being very favorable to disease organisms, wheat growers are strongly encouraged to monitor their wheat crop for presence and development of diseases, and apply fungicides when appropriate, to maximize crop performance and grain quality, particularly given the very low level of tolerance for DON in the food industry.

* INW and AG varieties are available through the licensing program.
