Abstract:
‘ORCF-101’ is a common soft white winter wheat developed by Oregon State University and the BASF Corporation in cooperation with USDA-ARS. It is an awned, shortstatured, semidwarf variety with midseason maturity and high yield potential. ORCF-101 is a non-GM (genetically modified) wheat variety that carries an altered form of the acetolactate synthase (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase) enzyme. The altered enzyme is not affected by imazamox, the active ingredient in Beyond™ herbicide and one of the active
ingredients in Clearmax™ herbicide. When ORCF-101 is used in combination with
Beyond or Clearmax at labeled rates, this CLEARFIELD® technology provides
growers with an effective tool for control of several grassy weeds.
