Print this story MANHATTAN, Kan. - Whether it´s leaf rust, Hessian fly or wheat streak mosaic, plenty of maladies can threaten Kansas wheat. To show growers how different wheat varieties have performed in various parts of the state, the K-State Research and Extension´s 2008 Wheat Variety Disease and Insect Ratings guide is now available online. The Web address is http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/plant2/mf991.pdf. "With the many varieties of wheat available now, it can be helpful to know how they stood up to diseases and pests across Kansas. The guide´s ratings are intended to help producers select wheat varieties that will reduce the risks of yield losses," said Extension plant pathologist Erick De Wolf. Those pest-resistance ratings represent the results of multiple field and greenhouse evaluations by both public and private wheat researchers, De Wolf said. The four-page ratings guide will also be available later this summer through Kansas´ network of county and district Extension offices. |
