Remarks:
AC Eatonia and Lillian have a solid stem that confers resistance to the wheat stem sawfly. CWRS wheat grown under irrigation tends to have lower grades. 5604HR CL, CDC
Abound, CDC Imagine, CDC Thrive and WR589 CL are tolerant to the CLEARFIELD® herbicides Adrenalin SC and Altitude FX. VB - designates a varietal blend to preserve the
Sm1midge tolerance gene. New registrations: AAC Brandon (BW932), AAC Elie (BW931), AAC Redwater (PT457), AAC Iceberg (HW021), Whitehawk (HW024). 5605HR CL (BW918) and
CDC Whitewood (HW612) - insufficient data to describe.

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 AC Barrie are reported
in the Overall and Low, Medium, and High Yield Test Categories. Note that small plot yields may be 10-15% higher than field scale results.
2
Yields are reported relative to AC Barrie.
Varieties that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) yielding than AC Barrie are indicated. No symbol after the yield figure indicates no statistical difference.
3
Maturities rated as: VE =
Very Early; E = Early; M = Medium; L = Late; VL = Very Late. The long term average maturity for AC Barrie is 106 days and is rated as Medium (M).
4
Thousand Seed Weight.
5
Resistance/Tolerance Ratings: VG = Very Good; G = Good;
F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor.
6
Varieties with ratings of Fair (F) to Very Poor (VP) for loose smut or bunt should be treated with a systemic seed treatment to reduce the potential
for infection.
7
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) infection is highly influenced by the environment and heading date. Under high levels of FHB, all varieties will sustain damage. Good (G) and
Very Good (VG) tolerance ratings for FHB do not equate to immunity.
