Grace
Developed by the Grace Foundation and selected by the USDA-ARS as a commercial cultivar.
Has sufficient cold tolerance to be fall planted. Fair yield potential.
Test weight about 10 lb/bu less than winer wheat. Mid tall.
Trical 2700
Resource Seeds 1993 release for grazing, hay, or boot stage forage. PVP. awned,
white chaff, mid tall, good straw strength and lodging reisstance. Excellent yield
potential but little southern Idaho testing for grain. Higher leaf to stem ratio for
greater digestibility. Good disease resistance. Is facultative or cold tolerant
enough to be fall planted.
Whitman
A USDA-ARS WSU release. Has sufficient cold tolerance to survive fall plantings.
Good yield potential from both winter and spring plantings. Resistant to local
races of stripe and leaf rust. Is 12-15 inches taller than most soft white winter
wheats. Protein is 1-2 percent protein higher than soft white winter wheats.
Juan
A CIMMYT and University of California 1984 release. A day neutral type that is not
photoperiod sensitive, it begins the reproductive phase based entirely on acumulated heat
units. Lacks the cold tolerance of any other spring types that can be fall planted.
Mid tall, fair yield potential under southern Idaho irrigated conditions.
Test weight and protein content similar to Whitman.
