Strad CL Plus is known as the Doublestop CL Plus upgrade for straw strength, forage
production and maturity. This variety has a higher yield ceiling than Doublestop CL
Plus, especially in central and north central Oklahoma, with only slight lowering
of wheat protein concentration and test weight. A few of the advantages of Doublestop
CL Plus include a strong disease package, aggressive fall growth habit, earlier maturity
and a standard of excellence in the baking community.
Strad CL Plus is a moderately tall variety, but with good standability (similar to
OK Bullet). Lodging could be problematic in wet environments.
Recommended positioning – early-planted grazing systems for dual-purpose beef and
wheat production, and grain-only production systems, throughout the central corridor
of southern Plains wheat production.
