Research

  • Collaborative projects designed to develop wheat and sorghum resistant to insects and mites. This research is in cooperation with plant breeders, plant pathologists, and other entomologists with financial support primarily from Kansas Commodity Commissions.
  • The identification and evaluation of wheat curl mite biotypes as expressed in response to plant resistance is a major component of the research effort. Results for 2002-2004 includes the release of Stanton, a top yielding Russian wheat aphid-resistant wheat cultivar, and the release of five biotype I greenbug resistant sorghum A/B lines.
