Registration of ‘hardy 2519’ Wheat

'Hardy 2519' (Reg. no. CV-1189, PI 692613), a hard red winter (HRW) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar, was derived from the cross VA06HRW-108 x 'Vision 30' (PI 661153) using a modified bulk breeding method. Hardy 2519 was tested as VA14HRW-25 in replicated yield trials in Virginia (2015-2018) and in the USDA-ARS Uniform Bread Wheat Trials (2016-2018) and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in 2019. Hardy 2519 is a widely adapted, high-yielding HRW wheat with 2*, 5+10 gluten subunits. Hardy 2519 is awned, semidwarf (Rht 2 gene) with medium spike emergence, resistant to leaf rust, and moderately resistant to powdery mildew in the mid-Atlantic region. In the Virginia Bread Wheat Elite Trials from 2018 to 2020, Hardy 2519 produced a mean yield of 5,393 kg ha(-1), which was similar to that of the HRW wheat cultivar 'Vision 45' (PI 667642) at 5,267 kg ha(-1). Hardy 2519 has acceptable milling and baking quality on the basis of comparisons with the HRW wheat check cultivar 'Jagger'.
