Teal is an early-maturing hard red spring wheat best adapted to the Black soil zone of western Canada. It combines early maturity with good yield potential, increased kernel size and leaf and stem rust resistance. It was developed at the University of Saskatchewan from a three-way cross involving BW514 (Nainari 60/Huelquen), Benito and BW38 (UM953A/Neepawa; UM953A = Sonora 64/Tezanos Pintos Precos). Key words: Triticum aestivum, cultivar description, bread wheat

The Western Bread Wheat Cooperative test and Central Bread Wheat Cooperative test are the bases of evaluation for cultivar registration in the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat class. Historical data from these tests were analyzed with the objectives of comparing grain-yield-related variables of recently registered cultivars with those of earlier cultivars and determining the yield advances made within the CWRS wheat class. Canadian cultivars increased maximum yield potential approximately 6–9 kg ha−1 yr−1 during a 90–yr period. Yield potential of sawfly-resistant cultivars has been increasing at a rate of 11 kg ha−1 yr−1, although they consistently yielded less than the highest yielding hollow-stem cultivars. In general, the genetic yield increases resulted from an increase in the number of kernels produced rather than an increase in kernel size. This suggests that bread wheat grown on the prairies has been sink limited during grain filling. Breeding efforts focused on increasing Canadian production through the development of numerous CWRS cultivars with specific traits (e.g., early maturity, disease resistance) to allow hard red spring wheat to be grown over a broad geographical range. Plant height, time to maturity, and hectolitre weight did not change significantly during the 1947–1992 period. Key words:Triticum, kernel number, kernel weight, height, hectolitre weight

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

Stubble options for winter wheat in the Black soil zone of western Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 261–270. Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production has yet to reach its full potential in the Canadian prairies. Alternative stubble types are needed to help overcome the challenge of timely planting of winter wheat in late-maturing canola (Brassica napus L.) fields. A study was conducted in the prairie provinces of Canada to determine ideal stubble types for winter wheat and select spring cereals grown in the Black soil zone. Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), canola, pea (Pisum sativum L.), barley grain or silage (Hordeum vulgare L.), and oat (Avena sativa L.) stubbles were established at four locations in western Canada. A new study area was established at each location for 3 yr. In the year following establishment, winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, barley, and oats were grown on each stubble type at each study area. Winter wheat and spring cereal crops often yielded best and had greater grain protein concentration on barley silage, pea, and canola stubbles relative to other stubble types. The yield and grain protein concentration of spring cereals was best when grown on pea stubble. Winter wheat production attributes varied most among site by crop combinations, and further investigation indicated the source of this variability may be from winter wheat plantings on canola and pea stubble. Among the optimal stubbles, less variable results were observed when winter wheat was grown on barley silage stubble, suggesting proper crop residue management would reduce the variability observed in canola and pea stubble. Our results suggest stubble alternatives to canola are available for winter wheat plantings in western Canada.

AC Assiniboia is a high-yielding, tan hulled oat cultivar possessing the crown rust resistance gene combination Pc38, Pc39, and Pc68, which is highly effective against the crown rust population on the Canadian prairies at the time of registration. It has very good resistance to loose and covered smut, good resistance to stem rust, and excellent tolerance to Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV). AC Assiniboia has good kernel characteristics, including good protein and oil content. AC Assiniboia is well suited for the oat-growing areas of western Canada and in particular the Black soil zone of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Key words: Oat, Avena sativa L., cultivar description

Linola™ 989 is the second low linolenic flax cultivar registered in Canada. In western Canada, Linola™ 989 is significantly earlier maturing than Linola™ 947 and Flanders, and has a significant yield advantage over Linola™ 947 in the Black and Brown soil zones. Linola™ 989 is significantly higher yielding than Flanders in the Black soil zone of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Both Linola cultivars are yellow seeded. Key words: Flax, low linolenic acid, cultivar description, solin

Zealand hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed using a modified bulk breeding method at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, AB. Zealand is an apically awn-letted, hollow-stemmed cultivar with a combination of high yield potential, tall plant type, large leaves, and early maturity. In three years of testing in the Western Bread Wheat Cooperative Registration Test during 2013–2015, Zealand exhibited grain yield similar to Glenn and Carberry and 5%–6% lower than Unity and AAC Viewfield, though this difference was not significant (p > 0.05). Zealand yielded 37% greater than the highest-yielding Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) check, CDC Osler, in A-level testing at a certified organic farm. Zealand matured 1–4 d earlier and was taller than all the check cultivars, but exhibited lodging resistance better than Unity and similar to the other checks. The test weight of Zealand (79.1 kg hL−1) was lower than Glenn and similar to the other checks, while its seed mass was in the range of the check cultivars. Overall, Zealand was rated as resistant (R) to the prevalent races of leaf rust, moderately resistant (MR) to stripe rust and loose smut, intermediate (I) to stem rust and leaf spot, and moderately susceptible (MS) to common bunt and Fusarium head blight. Three years of end-use quality evaluation indicated that Zealand is acceptable for the CWRS class, with relatively few weaknesses. The tall plant type, large leaves, and early maturity render Zealand suitable for organic/high weed environments.
