Hard Red Winter Wheat
Langin
CSU release (2016), marketed by PlainsGold. Early maturing semidwarf. Good drought stress tolerance and winterhardiness, stripe rust resistance, and quality. Medium coleoptile. Carries wheat curl mite resistance from Byrd parent. Very high yield potential for irrigation, but straw strength requires use of growth regulator.
Byrd CL Plus
CSU release (2018), marketed by PlainsGold. Two-gene Clearfield wheat in Byrd background. Highly similar to Byrd with exception of tolerance to Beyond herbicide. Excellent drought tolerance and quality. Has shown some non solid-stem based tolerance to wheat stem sawfly. Certified seed only.
Crescent AX
CSU release (2018), marketed by PlainsGold. CoAXium wheat for winter annual grassy weed control. Approximately 66% Byrd and 34% Hatcher parentage. Earlier and much improved yield and test weight relative to Incline AX. Intermediate reaction to stripe rust and carries wheat curl mite resistance from Byrd parent. Certified seed only.
