30 milling <strong>wheat</strong> cultivar descriptions<br />
SAGE YEAR 4<br />
Higher yielding milling <strong>wheat</strong> than<br />
Conquest at irrigated sites. It has a high<br />
protein content. Reasonably resistant to<br />
disease with the exception of stripe rust. A<br />
tall strawed cultivar with weak to moderate<br />
straw strength so consider a PGR. Low<br />
sprouting risk.<br />
SARACEN YEAR 5<br />
Saracen is a milling <strong>wheat</strong> that has yielded<br />
4 to 5% higher than Conquest. Monitor for<br />
leaf rust and fusarium head blight. Saracen<br />
is short strawed with excellent straw<br />
strength. It has low sprouting risk and a<br />
high falling number.<br />
