Hallam

Hallam is a hard red winter wheat variety developed cooperatively by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA-ARS and released in 2005. Hallam was released primarily for its superior adaptation to rainfed wheat production systems in eastern Nebraska. Hallam was selected from the cross Brule/Bennett//Niobrara. Hallam is not recommended for irrigation where other wheat cultivars with superior performance, especially with better straw strength, would be recommended. Hallam is a semi-dwarf wheat cultivar. Hallam has a medium short coleoptile. The winter hardiness of Hallam is good to very good. Hallam is moderately resistant to stem rust, stripe rust, and Hessian fly. It is moderately susceptible to leaf rust. Hallam has good end-use quality characteristics and would be acceptable to the milling and baking industries. Where it is adapted, Hallam should be a good replacement for Arapahoe as it has a higher yield potential and similar or superior disease and insect resistances. Non-complementary varieties include Arapahoe, Culver, Millennium, Wahoo, and Niobrara.
