* 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 thus are generally better suited for northernmost regions, particularly if wheat is planted early in the fall. Early-maturing varieties are best suited for relatively late planting dates.

*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 the northernmost regions, particularly when wheat is planted early in the fall. Early-maturing varieties are best suited for relatively late planting dates.

Table 3. Varieties adapted for South Mississippi.

Progeny #BUSTER	Late	High	Medium	Yes
Progeny #CHAD	Med-Early	Very Low	Short	No
AGS 2055	Medium	Medium	Med-Tall	Yes
Progeny #BINGO	Very Late	Low	Med-Tall	Yes
Progeny #TURBO	Medium	High	Med-Short	No
Delta Grow 1200	Very Late	Medium	Medium	Yes
Delta Grow 1800	Med-Early	High	Tall	Yes
REVERE 2169	Very Late	Medium	Med-Tall	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9811	Early	High	Medium	Yes
Dyna-Gro 9701	Late	Med-High	Tall	Yes
Delta Grow 1000	Late	Med-High	Tall	Yes

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