Comments
Certified seed of this new AgriPro wheat should be available for fall 2003. Yields in test plots have been exceptional throughout Kansas, Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and other areas of the Central Plains. Jagalene is probably the most exciting new red wheat variety to come along since Jagger back in 1995.
Jagalene has very good overall disease resistance. It is susceptible to Hessian Fly, however. It is moderately tolerant to acid soils, has very good grazing potential, and very good straw strength. It has been less prone to shattering than Jagger so far, but should still be watched under some conditions.
