Comments
AGSECO 7853 has been one of the best performing varieties available to Kansas farmers the past several years with excellent quality and test weights. It is resistant to soil borne mosaic, spindle streak mosaic virus, stem rust and has good tolerance to wheat streak mosaic virus. 7853 also has above average tolerance to acid soils and to grass herbicides designed to control cheatgrass. 7853 is susceptible to leaf rust but performance is still good even in seasons in which leaf rust is heavy. 7853 has exceptional end use quality (baking & milling) and may result in premiums to producers.
