J I 
New Hybrids and Varieties 
Nordic Barley-A six-rowed spring barley de-
veloped by the North Dakota Agricultural Ex-
periment Station. Its production is recommended 
in all areas of the state except the southeast, 
south-central and southwest cropping districts. 
Nordic is similar to Larker in most characteris-
tics. Although it is taller, it is similar to Larker 
in lodging resistance. 
Paoli Barley-A six-rowed winter barley for 
southwest, south-central and southeast Nebraska. 
It is similar to Chase in maturity and winter-
hardiness. Paoli is shorter and stiffer strawed 
and has produced much higher yields than Chase 
in Nebraska. 
Nebraska 620 Corn-A modified three way 
version of Nebraska 611. It is similar to Nebraska 
611 in agronomic traits. Both Nebr. 620 and Nebr. 
611 should be planted in warm soils at moderate 
population densities for best performance. 
RS 506 Grain Sorghum-A hybrid which is 
similar to NB 505 in maturity. It is about five 
days earlier and slightly taller than RS 610. RS 
506 has an excellent yield record, but it is less 
resistant than NB 505 to lodging. The new hybrid 
is suggested for the northeast, north central, and 
west cropping districts in the state. 
Trio Oats-An early to midseason oat variety 
developed cooperatively by the Nebraska and 
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Stations and 
the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA. It is 
adapted statewide under both dryland and irri-
gation. Trio is slightly shorter and has stiffer 
straw than Pettis. 
Amsoy 71 Soybeans-A phytophthora root-rot 
resistant Amsoy. In Nebraska tests it has per-
formed much like Amsoy. 
Bonus Soybeans-A late maturing soybean 
variety developed at Purdue. It is suggested for 
production in southeast Nebraska. Bonus is re-
sistant to phytophthora root-rot, high in protein 
content and it has average oil content. It has a 
good yield record in its area of adaptation in 
Nebraska. Prompt harvesting after maturity 
may minimize any potential shattering loss. 
Cutler 71 Soybeans-A phytophthora root-rot 
resistant Cutler. In Nebraska tests it has per-
formed much like Cutler. 
Williams Soybeans- A mid-season maturing 
soybean variety selected in Illinois. It is sug-
gested for production in those areas of Nebraska 
where Calland and Wayne are recommended. 
Williams is about the same in maturity as Calland 
and Wayne. Its chief advantages over Calland 
and Wayne are its improved shattering and 
lodging resistance, improved seed quality, and 
usually higher yield. 
Centurk Wheat- A highly productive and 
widely adapted winter wheat variety developed 
at the University of Nebraska. It has stem rust 
resistance and is a strong blending wheat with 
longer than average mixing time and stronger 
than average mixing tolerance. The production 
of Centurk is suggested for all cropping districts 
of Nebraska except the north central and north-
east. Centurk is slightly later in maturity than 
Scout.
