New wheat variety
A new soft white winter wheat named Stephens, has been
released by Oregon State University. The new variety was
developed by Dr. Warren Kronstad, reports Harold Kerr,
County Extension Agent.
The new variety is semi-dwarf with white, stiff straw. It
was developed from a cross between a semi-dwarf and a
French cultivar made at the Hyslop Agronomy Farm near
Corvallis in 1965.
The new wheat has good resistance to stripe rust, and has
good resistance to leaf rust and common bunt. It is
moderately resistant to mildew and is susceptible to dwarf
bunt, flag smut and snow mold. It appears to have some
tolerance to cercosporella foot rot which could be important
for early seeding for erosion control.
Stephens has been the highest yielding variety for three
consecutive years in the Regional Uniform Winter Wheat
Nurseries grown at several locations in the western states. At
the Sherman Branch Experiment Station at Moro, it was the
highest yielder for the past two years. Under irrigation at
Madras, it yielded 3.5 bushels more than Hyslop. At Ontario,
it yielded 1.8 bushels less than McDermid.
In local trials at the Frank Anderson Ranch, Stephens did
not do as well as our present varieties in 1976. At the Rew
Farm west of Pendleton, it yielded the same as McDermid.
Growers who would like to purchase Foundation seed and
participate in the increase of Stephens should contact the
Extension office.
The seed must be grown under the certification program
and is available in limited amounts at $12.00 a bushel.
