Hard White
Wheats

Nuplains

Nuplains is a hard white winter wheat variety. It is moderately
early maturing. It was developed by the USDA and the
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. Nuplains was derived
as a single head selection from the cross Abilene/KS831872.  It
is targeted for dryland production in south central and west
central Nebraska, irrigated production in the southwest and
panhandle areas of Nebraska and adjacent states. Test weight
are good to very good with above average protein. Nuplains has
demonstrated acceptable quality properties for both bread and
noodle products.  Plant height is moderately short with good
straw strength. Coleoptile length is medium and it has fair to
good winter-hardiness.  Nuplains is moderately resistant to stem
rust, moderately suceptible to current races of leaf rust and is
suceptible to  soilborne mosaic virus,  wheat streak mosaic
virus, and Hessian fly. Nuplains can only be sold as a class of
certified seed.

Trego

Trego is another excellent variety of white winter wheat. It is
moderately early maturing, similar to 2137. Plant height is
moderately short. Based on performance trials, it appears
best adapted to central and western production areas, both
irrigated and dryland.  Coleoptile length is moderately short.
Trego has fair to good standability, and test weight patterns
and protein content are average. Overall bread baking quality
has been rated above average. Trego is moderately resistant
to stem rust, leaf rust, soilborne mosaic, and wheat sprindle
streak mosaic virus; is moderately tolerant to wheat streak
mosaic virus;  moderately suceptible to tan spot and
suceptible to Hessian fly. Trego can only be sold as a class of
certified seed.
