Oat Varieties

Excel (P9741A41-4-6-7) - After the last cross, Excel was developed by selection using the pedigree method of breeding, with plant selections, in F2, F4, and F6 for plant traits and resistance to crown rust and resistance/tolerance to yellow dwarf viruses. Breeder seed of Excel resulted from an F6:9 plant population grown in 2003 in a drill strip from which off-type plants were rogued. Lemmas of Excel are awnless and light tan (considered white) that fluoresce in UV light. Excel has been uniform for plant characteristics and disease resistance. Up to 0.5% variants are allowed.

Robust - Robust is moderately early, has high test weight, is very resistant to lodging (robust), is high yielding, and adapted in mid- to northern areas of the Midwest region including Ontario. Robust has resistance to crown rust and yellow dwarf viruses, is moderately resistant to loose smut, and is susceptible to stem rust. The parentage of Robust is: Jay/5/Classic/4/WIX6141-2//INO9201*2 /Newdak/3/ND881374/Jud. After the last cross, Robust was developed by selection using the pedigree method of breeding, with plant selections in F2, F3, and F5 for plant traits and resistance to crown rust and resistance/tolerance to yellow dwarf viruses. Robust is the progeny of an F5 plant, and breeder seed of Robust resulted from an F5:9 plant population grown in 2003 in a drill strip from which off-type plants were rogued. Lemmas of Robust are very light tan, considered white, and fluoresce in UV light; and awnless, although an occasional lemma has a small awnlet. Robust has been uniform for plant characteristics and disease resistance. Up to 0.5% variants are allowed.
Woodburn - Woodburn is early maturing, has high test weight, is high yielding, adapted to areas in central and southern Ohio to eastern Nebraska, and has performed especially well in Iowa. Woodburn has resistance to crown rust and loose smut, moderate resistance/tolerance to yellow dwarf viruses and is susceptible to stem rust. The parentage of Woodburn is: Ogle*2/CI8327/4/Ogle/INO9201/3/WIX6141-2//INO9201*2 /Newdak. After the last cross Woodburn was developed by selection using the pedigree method of breeding, with plant selections in F2, F3, and F5 for plant traits and resistance to crown rust and resistance/tolerance to yellow dwarf viruses. Woodburn is the progeny of an F5 plant, and breeder seed of Woodburn resulted from an F5:9 plant population grown in 2003 in a drill strip from which off-type plants were rogued. Lemmas of Woodburn are awnless and yellow, and do not fluoresce in UV light. Woodburn has been uniform for plant characteristics and disease resistance. Up to 0.5% variants are allowed.

Wheat Varieties* (Soft Red Winter Wheat)

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."
Ag 2579 - Ag 2579 is a relatively short, awnless variety of medium maturity with good eye appeal. It has performed very well over a wide area of the Midwest, Upper Mid-south, the Ohio River Valley and the East Coast growing areas. It has good test weight and a good overall disease package. In 2005, Ag 2579 was #1 of 43 varieties entered in the 12 state Uniform Eastern Soft Red Winter Wheat Nursery. This variety holds up well to both "head scab" and stripe rust. Ag 2579 has performed in the top 10% of performance trials for four consecutive years.
INW0303 - The line is progeny of a short, stiff-strawed plant selection out of INW0301. It has resistance to soil borne mosaic and powdery mildew, has H9 and H13, moderate resistance to leaf blotch and glume blotch, but is susceptible to leaf rust.
INW0316 - Stiff straw, good milling and baking qualities, has high test weight. Has similar maturity to Patterson. INW0316 has near-immunity to yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV and CYDV) and soil borne mosaic. Has moderate type II resistance to Fusarium, but has higher incidence of Fusarium than some other cultivars. Has resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust, has slow powdery mildew, and moderate resistance to leaf blotch and glume blotch.
INW0411 - This variety is medium in height, averaging 34 inches with excellent straw strength. It is uniform with excellent eye appeal. Its disease package is exceptional including resistance to "Head Scab". It is moderately susceptible to stripe rust, but holds yield well in spite of stripe infection. Heading is uniform with tillers usually the same maturity and height of main heads. INW0411 has shown good adaptation to the entire SRW Wheat growing area.
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 (New!) - This variety has consistent high performance, has medium height, typically 35-37 inches tall, good straw strength, awnless, early - one day later than Patterson. It has excellent pastry-baking qualities. It has partial resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB), yellow dwarf, leaf rust, soilborne mosaic, and wheat spindle streak mosaic. Due to its large root volume and yellow dwarf resistance, its performance in 2007 was high and conspicuously consistent, because of the widespread infection of yellow dwarf and the dry soil conditions in Indiana and many areas of the Eastern U.S.

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