Wheat – TAM 112
TAM 112 is one tough wheat. It is widely adapted for the Southern Plains, and grew quickly in marketshare. It has good milling and baking characteristics. While it holds its own under optimum conditions, it is a superior wheat for dryland and limited irrigation.
TAM112 has greenbug resistance, and more importantly, is the only commercial wheat variety that also resists the wheat curl mite, a vector for several serious virus diseases. It is susceptible to some lines of rust, but those are easily controlled with fungicides.
This is a PVPA variety… The rights are owned by Watley Seed Company.
