Larry from the Kansas Wheat Alliance tillers high and has good potential for top-end yield under increased management such as a fungicide application in high stress conditions. It’s somewhat taller than typical varieties from K-State’s Manhattan-based program. Larry is expected to be a variety well adapted statewide as it has been performing well in state trials. Commercial behavior denotes tremendous stability across environmental diversity, and is adapting westward, though it is moderately susceptible to WSMV. It has also excelled under moderate to fairly intense drought.
