6 SOFT RED WINTER WHEAT VARIETIES DEVELOPED BY PURDUE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AND U.S.D.A.
RECOMMENDED THROUGHOUT INDIANA	EXCELLENT PASTRY FLOUR QUALITY
What maturity do you prefer?
FROM EARLIEST TO MIDSEASON: MONON, KNOX, VERMILLION, LAPORTE, REDCOAT, DUAL.
Do you want superior standing ability?
REDCOAT AND DUAL LEAD (Short straw is not necessarily the stiffest).
How much straw do you need?
FROM LEAST TO MOST HEIGHT:	MONON, KNOX, REDCOAT, VERMILLION, DUAL,
LAPORTE.
Is fly resistance important to you?
DUAL, MONON, REDCOAT ARE RESISTANT.
Do you want loose smut resistance?
LAFORTE leads in RESISTANCE. KNOX and DUAL are most SUSCEPTIBLE and will eventually be replaced with strains carrying mere resistance.
All six varieties are winter hardy.
What are the comparative yields?
See the attached tables for your section of Indiana.
Seed certification is your assurance of varietal purity.
COUNTY AGENT CAN SUPPLY NAMES OF CERTIFIED SEED GROWERS. Generations of Certified Seed: Registered1, Registered2, Certified, (Registered1 is the first generation from foundation seed)
