Rust-Resistant Wheat Promises Stronger Against Rust
Dr Seager Wheeler of Rosthern reports a new rust resistant wheat developed from Kota stock. He isolated two beardless heads in 1923 and, through successive selections, yielded about 60 varieties by 1925 with reduced rust. In 1926 and 1927 trials showed minimal rust damage and promising milling quality, though not immunity. Wheeler plans continued testing to deliver a largely rust tolerant wheat for prairie farms.
