| About Us - AWPM for Wheat |
|
 AWPM for Wheat is devoted to alternative suppression techniques. Focus groups and cost-of-production interviews have provided information for comparisons of regions and wheat cropping systems. In the future, they will provide a way to measure success for our program. Click on each logo to visit the school Web site.
Check out each team of our program:
 Texas was the third ranked state in winter wheat production in 2001, with 108.8 million bushels, behind Kansas and Oklahoma. Texas was the second ranked state in sorghum grain production, 72.8 thousand cwt (Kansas ranked first).
TAM participants will establish the Texas Panhandle study site and work cooperatively with KSU to accomplish program activities. They will also lead with remote sensing technology. |
 Nebraska's farms and ranches use 47.0 million acres – 96% of the state's total land area. Nebraska has nearly 23 million acres of rangeland, with half of it in the Sandhills in the north central part of the state. Corn, soybeans, winter wheat and sorghum are Nebraska's leading crops. NU participants will assess WCM populations and WSMV/HPV and BYDV disease incidence to cereals for all study sites. |
 Kansas is often called the "Wheat State" not only because of its soil and climate factors but its growers as well. In 1998, Kansas farmers produced enough wheat to produce almost 34.6 billion loaves of bread. KSU participants will be responsible for program activities at the Kansas, central Oklahoma, and Texas Panhandle farm sites. |
 Most wheat in Colorado is dryland with fewer center pivot and furrow irrigation systems. Among some acceptable crop rotations are wheat-corn-fallow and wheat-sorghum-fallow. CSU participants will supervise program activities for a Colorado farm site and a paired landscape site. CSU personnel will assess kochia-resistance incidence to herbicides. |
 Oklahoma is the second ranked state in U.S. winter wheat production, with 122 million bushels harvested in 2001. Winter wheat is often a “dual crop” for Oklahoma producers, providing cattle forage in the fall and winter months and a grain crop the following summer. These program members established the central Oklahoma site and work with KSU and ARS personnel at this site. They will conduct weed assessment and management activities for the central Oklahoma, Kansas, southeastern Colorado, and Texas Panhandle sites. |
