It´s just not possible for a red wheat to revert to being a white wheat in the field.” A small amount of outcrossing with white wheat from another field is possible. But, even if this were to occur, it would only result in 1 to 2 percent of the seed´s being a different type — which isn´t enough to be a concern, he said. 4599 Wheat is almost entirely self-pollinated, Shroyer ex- plained. So, as it pollinates its own plant, a red wheat will stay true to type. Growers may not think their seed could originally have included both red and white wheat, but that kind of mix can occur. If growers use their own saved grain for seed or get seed from a source other than a certified seed producer, red wheat may contain some white wheat or vice versa, he said.
