Fuller is an early maturing (about one day later than Jagger), bronze chaffed line hard red winter wheat developed by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Fuller has had a yield advantage over Jagalene and Jagger in central Kansas and similiar yields to Overley throughout its testing. Fuller has also performed well in western Kansas with a higher average yield than Jagger and Jagalene and also has very good tolerance to shattering in western Kansas tests. Fuller also has superior test weight and thousand kernel weight compared to Jagger. Fuller has had longer mixing times and somewhat lower loaf volumes than Jagger in bake tests. Overall, Fuller has acceptable baking quality.
Fuller is resistant to soil-borne mosaic virus, spindle streak mosaic virus, leaf rust, and stripe rust. It is moderately susceptible to powdery mildew and susceptible to hessian fly, greenbug and Russian wheat aphid.
Strengths:
* Resistant to soil-borne mosaic virus, spindle streak mosaic virus, leaf rust and stripe rust.
* Resists shattering
* Higher than average yield over Jagger
Weaknesses:
* Susceptible to hessian fly, greenbug and Russian wheat aphid.
