AC Abbey, hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is adapted to the Canadian prairies. It is significantly shorter than any of the check cultivars and has solid stems. AC Abbey expressed higher grain yield, earlier maturity, and heavier kernels than AC Eatonia, the solidstem check cultivar. It is resistant to the wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus Nort.) and to prevalent races of common bunt and has moderate resistance to leaf rust and stem rust. AC Abbey is eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Spring wheat. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., red spring wheat, yield, wheat stem sawfly, plant height, maturity

Lillian, hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), exhibited reduced cutting by the wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus Nort.) and is adapted to the Canadian prairies. Lillian produced significantly more grain yield than AC Abbey and Neepawa and its grain yield and protein concentration were similar to AC Barrie. It matured significantly earlier than Superb and Laura, and had improved resistance to leaf rust and leaf spotting diseases compared to AC Abbey. Lillian is eligible for all grades of the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat class. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, grain yield and protein, resistance wheat stem sawfly, leaf and stem rust

Lovitt hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is adapted to the Canadian prairies. Lovitt is earlier maturing than AC Barrie with similar grain yield and smaller kernels. Lovitt has resistance to prevalent races of leaf and stem rust and loose smut. Lovitt has very good pre-harvest sprouting resistance similar to RL4137. Lovitt is eligible for grades of the Canada Western Red Spring wheat class. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, resistance to leaf and stem rust, dormancy

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.

Mathematical models of hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were used to account for effects of weather on annual variations in yield and protein content on the Canadian prairies. When weather effects were calculated, other relatively slow-changing trends became much clearer. Results indicate that yields in the three major soil zones have increased an average of 806 kg ha−1, while protein contents have decreased (1.0% from 1961 to 1982). Both trends show the largest change at the beginning of the period (1961) with a levelling off at the end (1982). There seems to be an inverse relationship between yield and protein, with technology contributing to yield increases and at the same time decreasing protein content by dilution although this was not conclusively proved. Decreases in soil organic matter or other soil factors may be contributing to the protein decline but these factors were not required to explain the observed patterns in yield and percent protein. The results indicated that the potential to produce high protein wheats has decreased during the period 1961–1982.Key words: Nonlinear fitting, physical model, technology effects, protein dilution

AC Elsa, hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is adapted to the Canadian Prairies. It combines high grain yield with high grain protein concentration in a short strawed background. It has improved resistance to leaf spots compared with the check cultivars, and resistance to prevalent races of leaf rust, stem rust, loose smut, and common bunt. AC Elsa is eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Spring wheat. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., red spring wheat, cultivar description, yield, protein, disease resistance

AC Domain hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exhibited high levels of pre-harvest sprouting tolerance and is adapted to the Canadian prairies. In Manitoba, the grain yield of AC Domain was 3.4 to 7.4% higher than the check cultivars, while in Saskatchewan it was 3.3 to 8% lower. AC Domain had shorter, stronger straw than the check cultivars. AC Domain is eligible for all grades of the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat class. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, grain yield and protein, resistance to pre-harvest sprouting, leaf and stem rust
