2016 SEED GUIDE
Group Limagrain
an international farming community
TABLE OF CONTENTS
T
he parent company of Limagrain Cereal Seeds, Group Limagrain, was
founded as a farmer’s cooperative in France in 1965 to improve the quality
and availability of seed supplies. Today, still farmer-owned, the company has
nearly 9,000 employees, and is the largest seed company in the European
Union and the largest cereal seed producer in the world.
Group Limagrain has strategically placed cereal breeding programs in every
area of the world where wheat and barley are widely grown. Through the
exchange of elite Group Limagrain germplasm across six continents, LCS gives
U.S. farmers access to the best genetics available globally. Through cuttingedge speed breeding methodologies, we bring new, improved varieties to
market in a fraction of the time possible just a decade ago. LCS has more than
75 distinct varieties in the marketplace — representing all major market classes
of wheat and barley — and we are constantly researching, breeding, testing and
releasing new varieties to meet the needs of our growers.

MEET OUR TEAM
FIND OUR SEEDS
Hi, I’m Drew Hendricker, LCS Sales Manager for the Central Plains. We hope
you find our new 2016 guide helpful as you make planting decisions this
year. Dr. Barnett and her team continue to advance new and better options
for Central Plains growers – helping to further diversify an already strong
LCS product lineup, with a proven track record of success on the farm.
Because of this, we are sure to have a wheat variety that will maximize the
potential of your wheat acres this season.
As the manager of our LCS lineup and dealer network across the Central
Plains, it’s a privilege to work with the best in the industry- all of you.
Please let me know if you have any questions about our LCS genetics.

Dr. Marla Barnett, Senior Wheat Breeder
Marla breeds hard winter wheat for the Central and Southern Great Plains.
She obtained her Ph.D. from Kansas State in 2006 and welcomed the
chance to return to the Great Plains in 2010 with LCS. Marla’s research
career has focused on wheat improvement, genetic resistance to insects
and pathogens, and producing accurate genotypic data.
Limagrain Cereal Seeds is owned by farmers, powered by nature and driven
by innovation. Our dedicated team of researchers combine the advantages
of modern technology with the traditional principles of sustainable agriculture to develop varieties that today’s growers will need tomorrow.
Brent Conrady, Research Associate
Brent manages aspects of performance trial planting and harvest operations, along with agronomy trials for both wheat and canola. Brent grew
up on a dryland wheat farm in northern Oklahoma and spent 10 years as
a certified crop advisor before joining LCS.
Dean Wilson, Research Associate
Dean assists Marla in breeding wheat for the Central Plains. He
targets the accumulation and analysis of data for yield and disease
resistance. Prior to joining LCS, Dean assisted the late Dr. Jim Wilson
of Trio Research.
Dr. Jim Peterson, Vice President for Research
Jim currently oversees all U.S. breeding operations. Prior to joining LCS,
Jim spent 27 years in public sector wheat research, including 12 years as
a professor of Wheat Breeding and Genetics at Oregon State University.
Jim also served as Chair of the National Wheat Improvement Committee.

BREEDING STRATEGY
REGIONAL TESTING
Adaptation zones for hard winter wheat within the Great Plains can be
attributed to variations in elevation, temperature and rainfall. Four major
agro-ecological adaptation zones can be drawn within the region. These
zones are fluid, changing annually in size and scope, and may overlap.
Growers of the Central Plains need, and deserve, the best genetics possible on their
farms. Mother Nature challenges your wheat crop each year with extreme heat, cold,
drought, and increasingly virulent diseases and insects. LCS brings together superior
genetics from its global programs using the newest biotechnologies, combined with
end-use qualities that meet the demands of our highly critical export markets. Our breeding strategy comes from our strengths:
Germplasm. Group Limagrain has wheat breeding programs in South America, France,
the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and the Czech Republic. Varieties from some of
these programs contribute to our strong and diverse germplasm base, bringing new
genes, very high yield potential and novel disease resistances. LCS combines these with
local germplasms, selected for superior regional performance, to create an exciting
genetic base for the future.
Technologies. Access to a state-of-the-art molecular marker laboratory, doubled-haploid
factory, rapid growth facility and end-use quality lab means that LCS can bring the best
varieties to market faster than ever before — in nearly half the time compared to conventional breeding.

Collaborations. Our strong commitment to public-private partnerships sets LCS apart
from the competition, bringing together the strengths of both worlds. We have created
innovative collaborations with more than 25 different universities across the United
States that broaden our collective impact and bring new genetics and traits to market
faster, with better supporting information.
Global Perspectives. Group Limagrain’s global investments in wheat continue, including establishing new breeding programs in Argentina and Brazil, and most recently, the
creation of Limagrain Cereals Research Canada (LCRC), which will greatly increase our
germplasm base and program strength in the United States. This global perspective,
global mandate, and access to global technologies and germplasm means we can bring
higher productivity and novel genetics to local growers.

T153 is an ultra-early variety with excellent resistance to Fusarium head
blight, making this an ideal variety for Central and Eastern Kansas down
into Oklahoma. T153 also has very good adult plant resistance to leaf rust
and stripe rust, and is tolerant to low pH soils.

• Tall, with long, thin straw and

By the Numbers
T173 has been serving farmers and ranchers in the Central Plains as a
dependable forage option for quite some time. Suited for grazing, silage
and hay production, T173 is relatively late to mature and can be grazed
longer than most dual-purpose wheat varieties.

LCS Bar is a durable new triticale option for the Central Plains. Bred
for growers in need of a strong forage variety, LCS Bar is suited for
fall pasturing with the option for quality silage the next spring. LCS
Bar is suited for both irrigated or dryland production.

Hard Wheat Quality

Parameters
Loaf Volume
Loaf volume is considered to be the
best overall predictor of hard wheat
end-use quality. Varieties capable
of producing higher volume bread
loaves are in high demand from the
milling and baking industries of the
United States and abroad.
Seed Size/Flour Yield
A mixograph is used in the LCS quality lab to determine the quality and
quantity of flour proteins on the mixing quality of potential new hard
wheat releases. Mixing tolerance and dough handling properties can be
predicted with only 10 grams of flour, giving a quick estimate of a variety’s
gluten profile.
Excellent HRWW Quality
Average HRWW Quality
The correlation between seed size
and the amount of usable flour millers are able to recover is a key factor
in deciding to release a new variety.
Pictured from left to right are plump,
medium and thin sized seeds.
Crumb Structure
Crumb structure helps determine
the consistency of wheat quality.
High quality wheat varieties produce
an elongated, lacy and layered cell
structure, while varieties with poor
quality produce a more rounded,
dense and heavy cell structure.
Poor HRWW Quality
Excellent Crumb

Kernel Hardness
Determining variation in grain hardness of experimental hard wheat
varieties is important because it is
linked to the end-use quality.

Kernel characteristics such as
hardness are important to know
before the milling process so
tempering can be done properly.

LCS in the Field
Our most valuable resource in developing high performing varieties is
you. We’d love to see you at any of the following events and learn how LCS
genetics can best serve your farm.
To obtain the most accurate technical data possible, ratings and scores
are comprised of all available LCS and public research data at the time of
publication. The results presented in this guide may not be an indicator of
results you will obtain in your individual location, as local growing conditions — including soil type and weather — do vary. All growers are advised to
evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible.
