Biggar red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) combines high grain yield potential with semidwarf stature and wide adaptation. Biggar has improved end-use suitability relative to HY320 such as harder kernels, better flour milling properties, greater water absorption, and stronger gluten properties. It received registration No. 3089 and is eligible for grades of Canada Prairie Spring (red). Key words: Triticum aestivum, wheat (spring), high yield, cultivar description

Sadash is a soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that meets the end-use quality specifications of the Canada Western Soft White Spring class. Sadash is well-adapted to the wheat-growing regions of southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. Based on data from the Western Soft White Spring Wheat Cooperative Registration Test from 2003 to 2005, Sadash exhibited high grain yield, mid-season maturity, semi-dwarf stature with very strong straw, and good resistance to shattering. Sadash expressed resistance to the prevalent races of stem rust and powdery mildew, intermediate resistance to loose smut, moderate susceptibility to leaf rust and common bunt, and susceptibility to Fusarium head blight. Based on end-use quality analysis performed at the Grain Research Laboratory of the Canadian Grain Commission, Sadash had improved test weight over the check cultivars AC Reed and AC Phil and similar milling and baking performance.Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, wheat (soft white spring), grain yield, quality, disease resistance

Kenyon hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) possesses excellent resistance to leaf rust and stem rust. Kenyon was developed using the backcross breeding method, resulting in the recovery of the maturity and wide adaptation of its recurrent parent Neepawa. Kenyon was developed at the University of Saskatchewan. Key words: Cultivar description, leaf rust, Triticum aestivum L., spring wheat

Burnside is a hard, red, spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that meets the end-use quality specifications of the Canada Western Extra Strong wheat class. Burnside was evaluated in the Canada Western Extra Strong Wheat Cooperative Test in 2000, 2001, and 2002. In comparison with CWES cultivars Glenlea, Bluesky, AC Corinne, and CDC Walrus, Burnside had higher grain yields than Bluesky and AC Corinne, was similar to Glenlea and lower yielding than CDC Walrus. Burnside had maturity similar to Bluesky and was earlier maturing than Glenlea, AC Corinne, and CDC Walrus. Burnside is resistant to moderately resistant to prevalent races of leaf and stem rust and resistant to loose smut. End-use quality tests showed that Burnside had significantly higher grain protein content than the check cultivars.Key words: Triticum aestivum L., Canada Western Extra Strong, hard red extra strong spring wheat, cultivar description, yield, disease resistance

Superb is a hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) adapted to the wheat-growing regions of the Canadian prairies, and meets the end-use quality specifications of the Canada Western Hard Red Spring wheat class. Superb was evaluated in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Registration Test in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Superb yielded significantly more than the cultivars Neepawa, Roblin, AC Majestic, and 5500HR and slightly more than McKenzie. Superb was resistant to leaf and stem rust. Its disease reaction was “intermediate” to loose smut and common root rot, and moderately resistant to common bunt. Leaf spot reaction of Superb was similar to the checks and its reaction to Fusarium head blight was intermediate.

AC Taber, red-kernelled spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), resembles Biggar but has improved resistance to prevalent races of leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Roberge ex Desmaz.) and common bunt [caused by Tilletia laevis Kuhn in Rabenh. and Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul. & C. Tul.]. AC Taber also has a higher protein content, better milling quality and more gluten strength than Biggar. AC Tabor is eligible for grades of the Canada Prairie Spring (red) wheat class.Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, disease resistance, high yield

Snowbird is a hard white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that meets the end-use quality and kernel visual distinguishability specifications of the Canada Western Hard White Spring Wheat class. Snowbird was evaluated in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Test in 1998, 1999 and 2000, and was found to be adapted to the wheat-growing regions of the Canadian prairies. Snowbird yielded more than the check cultivars Neepawa, Roblin, AC Majestic, McKenzie, Harvest, and AC Barrie but less than McKenzie. Snowbird is resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust and moderately resistant to stem rust, loose smut and common root rot. Snowbird and Roblin exhibited similar levels of resistance to tanspot, Septoria tritici, and Septoria nodorum while its reaction to Fusarium head blight was similar to that of AC Barrie. Snowbird has similar grain and flour protein content as other check cultivars but had 1% less protein compared to Roblin.

Kanata is an early-maturing hard white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that meets the end-use quality and kernel visual distinguish ability specifications of the Canada Western Hard White Spring wheat class. Kanata was evaluated in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Test (1998–2000), and was found to be adapted to the wheat-growing regions of the Canadian prairies, particularly the shorter season areas. Kanata yielded less than check cultivars AC Majestic, AC Barrie, Harvest, and McKenzie but had similar grain yield compared with Neepawa and Roblin. In the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Test, Kanata was resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust, moderately resistant to stem rust, loose smut, and common root rot. Kanata is similar to Neepawa in its reaction to Fusarium head blight. End-use quality tests indicated that Kanata had similar grain and flour protein content as other check cultivars but had 1% less protein content compared to Roblin.
