KS Bill Snyder
KS Bill Snyder is a medium maturity, medium-short wheat out of the K-State Hays breeding program. This variety had proven itself as a very high yielder in both grain only and dual-purpose production systems. KS Bill Snyder has a solid disease package with good to intermediate resistance of stripe, leaf and stem rust along with strong tolerance […]
KS Territory
KS Territory is a medium height, medium maturity variety from the K-State Hays Breeding Program. It carries the Wsm2 gene for wheat streak mosaic resistance and has moderate resistance to leaf and stem rusts. This variety also has intermediate resistance to Triticum Mosaic Virus, making is especially well suited to areas where both WSMV and […]
KS Big Bow
KS Big Bow is a medium height, medium-early maturity, hard white winter wheat from the K-State Hays Breeding Program. This variety has good drought resistance, WSMV and TriMV tolerance, and has consistently out-yielded Joe, the dominant white wheat variety in the region, for several years. KS Big Bow also improves dramatically on the quality traits […]
KS Providence
KS Providence has proven itself as a very well adapted and extremely high yielding variety for Kansas and beyond. It is intermediate to stripe rust, resistant to stem rust, leaf rust, and soil-borne mosaic virus and has an intermediate response to acid soils, good down to 5.5 pH. The FHB resistance will likely be adequate […]
KS Hamilton
KS Hamilton is a medium maturity hard red winter wheat with a similar heading date as KS Western Star and three days later than T158. It has moderate shattering resistance with average straw strength, similar to KS Dallas and T158. KS Hamilton has good resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus, stem rust, soilborne mosaic virus, […]
KS Western Star
This new release variety from Kansas Wheat Alliance is a hard red winter wheat with a pedigree of Byrd and KS05HW121-2. KS Western Star is a medium maturity and medium-tall statured variety. It had greater yields than any hard red wheat varieties in the KIN tests in 2017 and 2018, including Tatanka, WB-Grainfield, SY Monument, T158, Langin, […]
Everest
This variety developed by K-State is the benchmark for tolerance to FHB (an Intermediate rating is as good as it gets for scab tolerance). Everest remains one of the “go-to” varieties for eastern and central Kansas—the most-planted variety in the state for several years. Everest will need to be sprayed for either stripe rust or […]
Zenda
This Kansas Wheat Alliance release is bred from an Overley sibling and Everest by some experimental lines. Zenda can be viewed as an Everest replacement but it is 2-3 days later than Everest. Zenda’s stripe rust resistance has resulted in higher average yields and greater yield stability compared to Everest, and has better end-use quality […]
