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 - 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.
INW0801 (011007A1-14) (New!) - This variety is an excellent choice for double cropping with soybeans. It is as early as Clark and 2 to 3 days earlier than Patterson, has short straw, high yield, and very good milling and baking qualities. It has excellent resistance to yellow dwarf viruses and soilborne mosaic. It has moderate resistance to Fusarium head blight, leaf rust and powdery mildew, is moderately susceptible to stripe rust, and is susceptible to Hessian fly.
INW0803 (92226E2532-17) (New!) - 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.

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