Decision Tree for Winter Wheat Variety Selection in ColoradoJerry Johnson and Scott Haley (August 2003) |
| (HQ) high end-use (milling and baking) quality. |
| (HWW) Hard White Winter wheat variety. |
| (HRW) Hard Red Winter wheat variety. |
| (CL) herbicide-tolerant CLEARFIELD* wheat variety. |
| (RWA-R) resistant to Russian wheat aphid (biotype A). |
| (IP) a variety that is identity-preserved, produced on contract, and eligible for bonus payment based on contract criteria. |
| The best combination of winter wheat varieties in Colorado depends upon variable production conditions. Production risks may be reduced by planting two or more varieties. The decision tree is based on variety performance, quality assessments, and agronomic observations in CSU variety trials and collaborative on-farm tests over a period of two or more years. |
