VT PITMAN var. 15VDH-FHB-MAS25-15 is a high-yielding, early, short semi-dwarf (Rht2) SRW wheat primarily adapted to the mid-Atlantic region with high test weight and moderate milling and baking quality. VT-Pitman expresses high levels of resistance to Fusarium head blight, leaf rust, and Barley yellow dwarf virus, as well as moderately high resistance to powdery mildew. VT Pitman showed higher than average susceptibility to stripe rust. It has tapered, awned blue-green heads, an erect twisted waxy green flag leaf, yellow anthers, yellow straw, and white chaff. Mean head emergence of VT Pitman in Virginia is on average similar to ‘SY Viper’, and one day earlier than Hilliard, three days earlier than ‘Shirley’ (PI 656753), and one day later than VA17W-75 (EPIX 1375). Mean plant height is shorter at 34 inches, similar to that of ‘Shirley’, 3 inches shorter than ‘Hilliard’, and 4 inches taller than ‘Laverne’. Straw strength is average.
