Remarks:
All soft white spring (SWS) wheat varieties have a semi-dwarf stature. AC Andrew yields about 35% more than AC Barrie. SWS wheat varieties may have potential demand as a
feedstock for ethanol production. SWS wheat tends to be more susceptible to preharvest sprouting. AAC Chiffon - 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 AC Andrew 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 Andrew. 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 Andrew is 110 days and is rated as Late (L).

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.
