Abstract

Abstract‘KS Venada’ (Reg. no. CV‐1159, PI 690467) hard white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed at the Agricultural Research Center–Hays, Kansas State University, and released by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station in 2018. KS Venada was selected from a single cross HV9W05‐415W/Fred‐2‐18‐2 made in 2007 at Hays, KS. The objective of this cross was to develop a hard white winter wheat cultivar with adaptation to dryland production in Kansas. KS Venada was developed using a modified bulk breeding method. KS Venada is an F5‐derived line with experimental number KS13HW92‐3, and it was tested in the Kansas Intra‐state Nursery for 4 yr. KS Venada is medium late and medium tall, with high grain volume weight. KS Venada was released because of its competitive grain yield in central and western Kansas, good end‐use quality and disease resistance, and improved preharvest sprouting tolerance and straw strength.
