Remarks
:
Winter wheat can be grown successfully in all areas of Alberta if seeded into standing stubble within the optimal seeding date period (generally before September 15) and if there is adequate
snowfall. Varieties with Poor winter survival are generally not suitable outside of southern Alberta. Radiant has resistance to the wheat curl mite, the vector for Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus. AC Bellatrix and
Flourish have resistance to common bunt; other varieties should be treated with a systemic seed treatment to reduce the potential for plant infection. Winter wheat may escape Fusarium head blight
infection if seeded before September 15. Fields in southern Alberta should be inspected in the fall for infestation by Russian wheat aphid, as it may reduce winter survival. New Registrations: CDC Chase
(
DH01-28-137), Swainson (DH01-25-135*R). Swainson is a public release from the University of Saskatchewan and Breeder Seed is available. Emerson will be available in fall 2014. AAC Gateway and CDC
Chase will not be available in fall 2014. CDC Chase - Insufficient data to describe. - Protected by Plant Breeders' Rights.

1
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 Radiant 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.
2
Yields are reported relative to Radiant. Varieties that are statistically higher (+)
or lower (-) yielding than AC Barrie are indicated. No symbol after the yield figure indicates no statistical difference.
3
Resistance/Tolerance Ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor;
VP = Very Poor.
4
Maturities rated as: VE = Very Early; E = Early; M = Medium; L = Late; VL = Very Late. The long term average maturity for Radiant is 222 days after January 1 (August 10) and is rated as
Late (L).
5
Thousand Seed Weight.
6
Kernel Type: HR = Hard Red; SW = Soft White; SR = Soft Red.
7
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) infection is highly influenced by the environment and heading date. Under
high levels of the FHB, all varieties will sustain damage. Good (G) and Very Good (VG) tolerance ratings for FHB do not equate to immunity.

CDC Falcon will be be moved to the Canada Western General
Purpose class on August 1, 2014. For more information, please refer to the Variety Designation Lists at the CGC website (www.grainscanada.gc.ca).
