Ranking based on yield performance in the Mississippi Wheat and Oat Variety Trials

Varieties Adapted for the Delta

Variety	Maturity*	Straw strength	Height	Awned heads
Local Seed LW 2848	Late	High	Tall	Yes
Progeny #BULLET	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
AgriMAXX 473	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9701	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Delta Grow 1000	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
USG 3536	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
GoWheat 2058	Medium	High	Short	Yes
AGS 2055	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9002	Med-Late	Medium	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9811	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
AgriMAXX 503	Late	Medium	Med-Tall	No
Dyna-Gro 9172	Late	Medium	Med-Short	Yes

*Variety maturity is rated specifically for the Delta region relative to other varieties. Later maturing varieties are more likely to avoid spring freeze damage and are generally better suited to northernmost regions, particularly if wheat is planted early in the fall. Early-maturing varieties are best suited for relatively late planting dates.

Varieties Adapted for North Mississippi

Variety	Maturity*	Straw strength	Height	Awned heads
Progeny #BUSTER	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9002	Med-Late	Medium	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9701	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Progeny #BULLET	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
AgriMAXX 473	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Local Seed LW 2848	Late	High	Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9811	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
GoWheat 2058	Medium	High	Short	Yes
AGS 2055	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
USG 3536	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Delta Grow 1000	Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Progeny #CHAD	Med-Early	Low	Short	No
Dyna-Gro 9172	Late	Medium	Med-Short	Yes

*Variety maturity is rated specifically for north Mississippi relative to other varieties. Later maturing varieties are more likely to avoid spring freeze damage and are generally better suited to northernmost regions, particularly if wheat is planted early in the fall. Early-maturing varieties are best suited for relatively late planting dates.

Varieties Adapted for South Mississippi

Variety	Maturity*	Straw strength	Height	Awned heads
GoWheat 2058	Med-Late	High	Short	Yes
AGS 2055	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9811	Medium	High	Med-Tall	Yes
Progeny #TURBO	Medium	Med-High	Short	No
Progeny #BUSTER	Med-Late	High	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9172	Very Late	Medium	Med-Short	Yes
Progeny #CHAD	Med-Early	Low	Short	No
Local Seed LW 2848	Very Late	High	Tall	Yes

AgriMAXX 473	Very Late	Medium	Tall	Yes
Progeny #BULLET	Very Late	Medium	Tall	Yes

*Variety maturity is rated specifically for South Mississippi relative to other varieties. Earlier maturing varieties are generally best suited for southernmost areas. Later maturing varieties generally have marginal adaptation in southern regions and may not yield well, or they may fail to meet vernalization requirements (low temperatures) to stimulate reproductive development, particularly if wheat is planted late in the fall.
