Soft White Winter Club Wheat

Temple (OR92CL0054)
This soft white winter club wheat variety was released by Oregon AES, USDA in 1998. Temple is best adapted to relatively dry environments of Eastern Oregon. It is taller than most soft white varieties and has weaker straw that limits its acceptance under irrigation. Yields in Idaho have been less than most common soft white varieties. It will likely be produced in southern Idaho only if produced for specific markets under contract. It is resistant to stripe rust and Strawbreaker foot rot.  Seed is easily distinguished as a club.

Bruel (WA 7833) Steve Jones -I had as common earlier.
Approved for Preliminary Breeder’s Seed Increase in 98. Recommended for release in ’99 with PVP. Potential Eltan replacement in N Idaho and E. WA. Earlier than Eltan but still has excellent snow mold tolerance. Excellent yield, better than Eltan and Madsen in WA dryland, especially snow mold areas.

Coda (WA7752)
1998 WSU release. Awned. High yield potential for dryland. Strawbreaker foot rot and Stripe Rust resistant.

Hiller (WA7729)
WSU release. Good quality, especially low protein, among the highest among soft whites in milling yield, v. good cookie diameter. Some difficulty grading as a club. WWC suggested not planting at one point.

 Rohde (OR855)
OSU ’92 release named after Chuck Rohde, former OSU wheat breeder at Pendleton. Awned with bronze chaff. Good yield potential in dryland environments for a club but not as good as better commons. Very susceptible to Strawbreaker Foot Rot. Taller but good straw strength. Fair winter hardiness.
