Johnston, a six-rowed feed spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) was developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Brandon, Manitoba from a cross involving Klondike, Bonanza and Nord. It has high yield potential across the Canadian prairies, particularly in parts of Alberta, resistance to scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), and excellent field leaf disease ratings.

AC Harper is a six-row yellow aleurone, hulled, spring feed barley with smooth awns, suitable for the Canadian prairies. AC Harper was developed from a cross between a scald resistant backcross line of Galt and BT364, which has high grain yield and strong straw. It has a combination of high yield potential, good resistance to lodging, short straw, and resistance to scald. AC Harper has improved kernel plumpness, protein content, and kernel colour compared to the feed check, Brier.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., barley (six-row spring feed)

Bridge is a two-rowed, hulled, spring feed barley suitable for growing in the western part of the Canadian prairies. It has a combination of high yield potential, high test weight and large kernels. Bridge was developed from a backcross involving TR 521 (Zephyr/Hector) as the cytoplasm donor and recurrent pollen parent, and TR 516 (Betzes/Piroline *2//Zephyr). Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., barley (two-rowed spring feed)

Massey is a new six-rowed spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with high yield and resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis), scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), leaf rust (Puccinia hordei) and it has the Jet genes for resistance to loose smut (Ustilago nuda). It is a nonmalting, mid-season cultivar well adapted to Ontario growing conditions. It was licensed in November 1978. Breeder seed of Massey will be maintained by Ottawa Research Station, Agriculture Canada.

Symko is a two-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) suitable for growing in Eastern Canada. It has high yield, high test weight, large kernels, good lodging resistance and is resistant to powdery mildew. Breeder seed of Symko is being maintained by the Plant Research Centre, Agriculture Canada.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., barley (two-rowed spring feed)Symko is a high-yielding, two-rowed spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Plant Research Centre, Agriculture Canada and tested under number OB751-27 by the Ontario Cereal Crops Committee. It has short rachilla hair and does not meet the quality standards required in a malting type. Registration no. 3135 was issued for Symko on 4 July 1989 by the Food Production and Inspection Branch of Agriculture Canada. This cultivar is named in recognition of Mr. S. Symko’s significant contribution to the cereal breeding program as a former cereal cytogeneticist at the Ottawa Research Station, Agriculture Canada.

Leduc is a six-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Brandon, Manitoba, from the cross Steptoe/Klondike. It was released because of its combination of high yield in parts of the Canadian prairies and disease resistance. Its primary area of adaptation is in the Black soil zone of north-central Alberta.Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare, cultivar description

SUMMARYThe literature suggests that grain number largely determines and as such limits yield in barley. Many of the reported studies were conducted in relatively low-yielding environments and it is unclear if grain number is also a limiting factor in high-yield potential climates. Nor is it known with certainty what physiological or morphological traits must be targeted in order to increase grain number. A detailed programme of assessments was carried out on replicated field plots of a two-row spring barley variety (Hordeum vulgare L. cvar Quench) at three sites (Carlow, Wexford and Cork) in Ireland from 2011 to 2013. Plots were managed for high yield potential as per current best farm practice. Destructive sampling and in-field assessments were carried out at approximately weekly intervals from emergence onwards to gather growth, development and yield component data. Across nine site/seasons, grand means of 8·52 t/ha for yield, 18 419 for grain number/m2 and 46·41 mg for mean grain weight were achieved. Grain number/m2 accounted for most of the variation in yield and ear number/m2 accounted for most of the variation in grain number/m2. Early-season maximum shoot number/m2 had little influence on harvest ear number/m2. The period over which final ear number was determined was more flexible than the literature suggests, where the phases of tiller production and senescence varied considerably. Significant post-anthesis re-tillering occurred following the initial phase of shoot mortality at two out of nine site/seasons, but this appeared to contribute little to yield. Yield was positively associated with the proportion of shoots surviving from an early season maximum to a mid-season minimum (R2 = 0·62). Shoot size and weight at the beginning of stem extension had the largest influence on shoot survival, indicating that crop condition and hence growth and development pre-stem extension may be more important for shoot survival than growth and development during the stem extension period. Achieving high shoot numbers of adequate size and weight at the beginning of stem extension may be an appropriate target for establishing a high-yield potential crop.

Otal is a six-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed and released in Alaska by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station at Palmer. Otal was developed from a cross of the Finnish cultivar Otra, and a breeding line from the Weibullsholm Plant Breeding Institute, Sweden. It was identified at the Agriculture Canada Research Station at Beaver-lodge in Alberta as having promise in the Peace River region for its combination of earliness and high yield, and was licensed for sale in Canada.Key words: Cultivar description, barley, Hordeum vulgare L. early-maturity
