Remarks
:
General Purpose barley varieties are described as follows: 1) General Purpose varieties - standard height and semi-dwarf 2) Hulless - Hulless General Purpose type. Hulless varieties yield 9-12%
lower than hulled varieties. Hulless seed is more susceptible to damage than hulled seed, so handling should be minimized. CDC Carter, CDC McGwire and Tyto are normal starch barleys suitable for food use.
CDC Clear is a hulless malting variety. New registrations: Brahma (TR07728). Amisk (BT593), Canmore (TR10694) and TR11698 - Insufficient data to describe. - Protected by Plant Breeders' Rights.

Awn types: R = rough; S = smooth; SS = semi-smooth.
2
Yield Test Categories are based on the site means for small plot trials. The defined range for each Yield Test Category is provided in bu/ac. The
actual yields for AC Metcalfe are reported in the Overall and Low, Medium, High, and Very High Yield Test Categories. Note that small plot yields may be 10-15% higher than field scale results.
3
Yield is
reported relative to AC Metcalfe. Varieties that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) yielding than AC Metcalfe are indicated. No symbol after the yield figure indicates no statistical difference.
4
Maturities
rated as: VE = Very Early; E = Early; M = Medium; L = Late and VL = Very Late. The long term average maturity for AC Metcalfe is 95 days and is rated as Medium (M).
5
TSW: Thousand Seed Weight.
6
Resistance/Tolerance Ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor.
7
Varieties with ratings of Fair (F) to Very Poor (VP) for smuts should be treated with a systemic seed
treatment to reduce the potential for infection.
