AC Ultima, a spring triticale cultivar (X Triticosecale Wittmack), is widely adapted to the Canadian Prairies. AC Ultima represents an improvement in Hagberg Falling Number, which is usually associated with improved harvest-time sprouting resistance. AC Ultima expressed high grain yield, early maturity, heavy kernels and excellent lodging resistance compared to the check cultivars. AC Ultima is very resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust, stem rust, and common bunt and resistant to common root rot. AC Ultima is eligible for the grades of Canada Triticale. Key words: Cultivar description, triticale (spring, X Triticosecale Wittmack), Hagberg Falling Number, yield, maturity, disease resistance, seed size

Two spring triticale (X-Triticosecale Wittmack) cultivars, Carman and Welsh, and one advanced-generation breeding line were grown under field conditions for 3 yr to study the effects of harvest time and drying method on quality and grade. Plots were harvested at six to seven intervals when kernel water concentration was in the 1000 to 100 g water per kilogram kernel dry weight range. Grain was dried in the field in simulated windrows or artificially dried in a forced-air oven at 40–45 °C. Test weight, 1000-kernel weight, falling number, germination, and commercial grade were determined. Test weight increased with decreasing kernel water concentration at harvest, particularly in the artificially dried treatment. Test weight was greater in the windrowed than in the artificially dried treatment, especially for harvests made at high water concentrations. Harvest at high kernel water concentrations tended to reduce 1000-kernel weight, more so in the windrowed than in the artificially dried treatment. Although falling numbers were influenced by harvest time and drying method, there were no clear trends. Germination was reduced in material cut at a kernel water concentration above 680 g∙kg−1 in 1 of 2 years. Grades were reduced by artificial drying of grain, particularly when harvested at high kernel water concentrations. Grades were unaffected by windrowing at kernel water concentrations of up to 1000 g∙kg−1.Key words: X-Triticosecale Wittmack, test weight, falling number, germination, windrow

AC Certa, a spring triticale cultivar (X Triticosecale Wittmack) was developed at CIMMYT and introduced by the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, via the 21st ITSN in 1989. It is widely adapted to the Prairie Provinces. AC Certa represents a significant improvement in test weight. AC Certa has an improved Hagberg Falling Number which is usually associated with improved harvest-time sprouting resistance AC Certa is very resistant to the prevalent races of stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp tritici Eriks. and E. Henn.); leaf rust (caused by P. recondita Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici); highly resistant to common bunt [caused by Tilletia foetida Wallr.) Liro and T. caries (DC) Tul.], and resistant to common root rot [caused primarily by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc. in Sorok.) Shoemaker]. Key words: Cultivar description, test weight, sprouting resistance, triticale (spring, X Triticosecale Wittmack)

AC Copia, a cultivar of spring triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack), was developed at the Research Station, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, SK. It is widely adapted to the Prairie Provinces of Western Canada. AC Copia represents an improvement in test weight over other currently available Canadian cultivars of triticale. It is very resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust, stem rust and common bunt, and moderately resistant to common root rot. Key words: Cultivar description, test weight, triticale (spring), X Triticosecale Wittmack

AC Remington, a cultivar of winter rye (Secale cereale L.), was developed at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre, Research Branch, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, Saskatchewan. AC Remington is a semidwarf with 20 to 25% shorter straw and improved lodging resistance compared with tall cultivars. AC Remington has good winter survival and is well adapted to the Canadian Prairies. AC Remington has improved grain yield, test weight, kernel weight and Hagberg Falling Number compared with those of the semidwarf cultivar AC Rifle. Plant height, heading, maturity and ergot infection of AC Remington are similar to those of AC Rifle. Key words: Cultivar description, semidwarf, rye (winter), Hagberg Falling Number, Secale cereale L.

McKenzie hard red spring wheat is the first doubled haploid wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar registered in Canada. Evaluation in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative registration tests from 1994 to 1996 was relative to Neepawa, Katepwa, Roblin and AC M ajestic. McKenzie displayed high grain yield, early maturity, high test weight and high Hagberg falling number. It had resistance to the prevalent races of stem rust, leaf rust, and common bunt, and exhibited intermediate resistance to Fusarium head bligh t. McKenzie is well adapted to all areas of the Canadian prairies and eligible for all grades of Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat. Key words:
