Narrative
When grown with two check cultivars, Knowles and Floral, in replicated yield trials at Corvallis between 1998 and 2001, Wheeler produced significantly more seed per hectare, seed oil, and oil per hectare. Mean seed yield of 1,749 kg/ha compared to 1,603 kg/ha for Knowles and 1,461 kg/ha for Floral (LSD0.05=70 kg/ha). Seed oil concentration of 295 g/kg was 11 g/kg greater than Knowles and Floral (both 284 g/kg)(LSD0.05=10g/kg). Mean oil yield 514 kg/ha compared to 454 kg/ha for Knowles and 414 kg/ha for Floral (LSD0.05=29 kg/ha). There were no significant differences in days to flowering, days to physiological maturity, or growth habit among Wheeler, Knowles, and Floral. Has strong upright growth characteristics required for mechanical harvest by direct combining or swathing and adapted for production as a winter annual in the mild maritime climates of the western U.S. especially the Willamette Valley of Oregon. 1000-seed weight 8.4 g compared to 8.4 g for Knowles and 8.1 for Floral.
