Synopsis The presence of awns increased losses and gains of grain of ripe standing wheat. Selection for awns in a breeding program should be in efficient method of obtaining faster drying varieties for the humid soft wheat area. Waxy glumes slowed both moisture losses and gains of grain and were considered undesirable.
