Remarks
:
Triticale is late maturing compared to CWRS wheat (approximately five days later). AC Ultima yields about 30% more than AC Barrie (CWRS wheat) in areas of adaptation. Bunker, Taza, and
Tyndal have heads with reduced-awns. - Protected by Plant Breeders' Rights.

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 Ultima are reported in the Overall
and Low, Medium, High, and Very High Yield Test Categories.
2
Yields are reported relative to AC Ultima. Varieties that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) yielding than AC Ultima are indicated. No
symbol after the yield figure indicates that there is 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 Ultima is 112 days and rated as Early (E).
4
TSW: Thousand Seed Weight.

Resistance/Tolerance Ratings: VG
=
Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor.
