KS Mako

KS Mako is a high yielding wheat variety out of the K-State Manhattan breeding program. KS Mako is medium maturity and medium height variety with Jagger and LCS Chrome in its pedigree.  This variety has a yield performance similar to KS Providence and other top yielding varieties in the central KS corridor and has also performed well further west with decent drought tolerance.  KS Mako has very good quality and above average protein at a given yield level and is currently on the Grain Craft preferred variety list. KS Mako also carries the Wsm2 gene, giving it some of the best wheat streak mosaic virus resistance for a Central KS adapted wheat variety. KS Mako is intermediate to moderately susceptible to leaf and stripe rust and susceptible to FHB.  It is a solid companion variety to KS Providence with high quality and WSMV resistance.
