birds on wire

M-201

Areas Grown: Area 1, Area 2
Grain Type: Medium
Maturity: Early
Vigor (poor=1, excellent=5): 4.1
Lodging (none=1 complete=99): 7
Blanking Tolerance (worst=1 A-301, best=5 M-103): 2
Stem Rot Score (worst=10, best=1): 5.8
Height (in): 34.6 (88 cm)
Rel. Yield Potential (lb/acre, last 5-yr. avg.): 97% of M-202
Days to 50% Heading: 93
Comments:
Very high yield potential. Two inches shorter than M-202. Excellent resistance to lodging. Threshes very easily so reduce reel and cylinder speed to minimize shatter and to enhance head rice. Best resistance to stem rot but susceptible to aggregate sheath spot. Non-uniformity of heading. Cool temperatures delay maturity and increase blanking. Won't mature above 80°F - "hangs". Not recommended for the Escalon area.
