The Colorado Wheat Variety Database provides complete access to variety information and data from university variety trials in Colorado and several other Great Plains states including Kansas. The database also includes private company trial data (Limagrain Cereal Seeds, Syngenta-Agripro) that are reported in the Wheat Varieties for Kansas and the Great Plains book.
The database may be used to find up-to-date wheat variety information, display data from individual trial locations, generate summaries across multiple trial locations and years, and generate head-to-head comparisons for varieties of interest.

Saving Wheat Seed

Seed treatments can be effective in greatly minimizing those risks, but thorough coverage of all seeds is necessary for the greatest efficacy.
