JAGGER REMAINS NUMBER ONE VARIETY

Jagger was the leading variety of wheat seeded

in Kansas for the 2003 crop. Accounting for 45.2

percent of the State’s wheat, Jagger increased

2.4 points from a year ago and was the most

popular variety in seven of the nine districts.

Jagger made the biggest gain in the South

Central District. The KSU-maintained variety

2137 ranked second over all, with 13.3 percent

of the acreage. It ranked first in one district and

second in five. TAM 110 moved up to third

position, and increased .8 points from last year.

Karl and improved Karl moved down to fourth

place with 3.2 percent of the acreage. The

OSU-maintained variety 2174 moved down to

fifth place with 3.1 percent of the State’s

acreage. TAM 107 held sixth place with 2.3

percent. Dominator moved up to seventh place,

with 2.2 percent. Ike moved down to eighth

place, with 2.1 percent. New to the top ten is

Trego, a hard white, ranking ninth with 1.8

percent. KSU-maintained variety 2163 remained

in the top ten with .8 percent. Acres planted with

multiple varieties blended together were not

included in the rankings by variety. Blends

accounted for 12.8 percent of the acres planted

State-wide and were used more extensively in

the north central and central parts of the State.

Out of the total State acres planted with blends,

98.6 percent had Jagger in the blend and 77.0

percent had 2137 in the blend. All Hard White

varieties accounted for 2.7 percent of the State’s

acreage. Trego was the leading Hard White

variety, accounting for 67 percent of the State’s

white wheat. The majority of the white wheat

was planted in the western third of the State.

This Wheat Variety project is funded by the

Kansas Wheat Commission.
