Jagalene Captures Number One


Jagalene became the leading variety of wheat seeded in Kansas for the 2006 crop. Jagger had held this position since 1998. Accounting for 27.2 percent of the State’s wheat, Jagalene increased 6 points from a year ago and was the most popular variety in five of the nine districts. Jagger moved down to second place, with 19.7 percent of the acreage. Jagger decreased 8.5 points but ranked in the top five in eight of the nine districts. Overley came in third with the biggest increase from last year, up 13.1 points. The KSU-maintained variety 2137 moved down to fourth place, with 3.1 percent of the acreage. Back to the top ten is T81, after being out last year, ranking fifth with 2.6 percent. TAM 111, new to the top ten, tied for sixth place with TAM 110 at 2.2 percent. Cutter moved up to eighth place with 1.6 percent of the acreage. The OSU-maintained variety 2174 moved down to ninth place with 1.2 percent of the State’s acreage. Tied for tenth are Ike, Thunderbolt, Karl and Karl 92, all with 1.1 percent. Acres planted with blended varieties were not included in the rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 10.0 percent of the State’s planted acres and were used more extensively in the north central, northeast, and central areas of the State. Out of the total acres planted with blends, 61.3 percent included Jagger in the blend, 46.3 percent had 2137 in the blend, and 42.2 included Jagalene. Hard White varieties accounted for 1.7 percent of the State’s acreage. Nu Hills was the leading Hard White variety, accounting for 36 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.
