Jagger Remains Number One Variety


Jagger was the leading variety of wheat seeded in Kansas for the 2004 crop. Accounting for 40.9 percent of the State’s wheat, Jagger decreased 4.3 points from a year ago but was the most popular variety in seven of the nine districts. The KSU-maintained variety 2137 ranked second, with 8.6 percent of the acreage, and ranked in the top 5 for all nine districts. TAM 110 remained in third position, increasing nearly 1 point from last year. Trego, a hard white wheat, moved up to fourth place with 3.5 percent of the acreage. New to the top ten is Jagalene, ranking fifth with 3.0 percent. The OSU-maintained variety 2174 moved down to sixth place with 2.8 percent of the State’s acreage. Karl and improved Karl fell to seventh place, with 2.3 percent. Ike held eighth place with 2.0 percent. New to the top ten is T81, ranking ninth with 1.8 percent. Dominator remained in the top ten with 1.5 percent. Acres planted with blended varieties were not included in the rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 15.2 percent of the State’s planted acres and were used more extensively in the north central and central areas of the State. Out of the total acres planted with blends, 92.4 percent included Jagger in the blend and 50.2 percent had 2137 in the blend. Hard White varieties accounted for 4.9 percent of the State’s acreage. Trego was the leading Hard White variety, accounting for 72 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.
