Fowler, D. B. 2013. Swainson hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 1257–1259. Swainson is a medium tall, high-yielding, stem and leaf rust resistant winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that is registered for production in western Canada. It is a hard red winter wheat cultivar that is eligible for grades of the Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat class, which was created in 2008 to encourage the development of cultivars to fill the high energy demands of the biofuel and livestock feed markets in western Canada. Its high yield potential has been particularly evident on dry land in Saskatchewan where its grain yield was 116% of CDC Buteo, the Canada Western Red Winter Wheat Class grain quality check cultivar, and 110% of Accipiter and 117% of CDC Falcon, the high-yielding check cultivars. High grain yield potential of low protein concentration grain and rust resistance make Swainson a good fit for the CWGP class.

Fowler, D. B. 2011. Accipiter hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 363–365. Accipiter is an intermediate height, high-yielding, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar with good stem and moderate leaf rust resistance that is registered for production in western Canada. It is a hard red winter wheat cultivar that is eligible for grades of the Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat class. The CWGP class was created in 2007 to encourage the development of cultivars to fill the high energy demands of the biofuel and livestock feed markets in western Canada. The grain yield of Accipiter was 114% of the Canada Western Red Winter Wheat class grain quality check cultivar, CDC Osprey, and 103% of the high-yielding check, CDC Falcon. High grain yield potential combined with good agronomic and disease packages make Accipiter a good fit for the CWGP class.

Peregrine is a medium tall, high-yielding, stem and leaf rust resistant winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that is registered for production in western Canada. It is a hard red winter wheat cultivar that is eligible for grades of the Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat class. The CWGP class was created in 2007 to encourage the development of cultivars to fill the high energy demands of the biofuel and livestock feed markets in western Canada. In Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the grain yield of Peregrine was 117% of the Canada Western Red Winter Wheat Class grain quality check cultivar, CDC Osprey, and 106% of the high-yielding check, CDC Falcon. High grain yield potential and a high level of rust resistance mean that Peregrine provides a good fit for the CWGP class.

Fowler, D. B. 2012. Sunrise soft red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 195–198. Sunrise is a high-yielding soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar that is registered in the Canada Western General Purpose (CWGP) wheat class for production in western Canada. The CWGP wheat class was created in 2008 to encourage the development of cultivars to fill the high energy demands of the biofuel and livestock feed markets. The grain yield of Sunrise is similar to the high-yielding hard red and soft white winter wheat cultivars registered in the CWGP class. It has good stem rust, stripe rust, and tan spot resistance and moderate leaf rust resistance. High grain yield potential of low protein concentration grain combined with good agronomic and disease packages make Sunrise a good fit for the CWGP class.

Fowler, D. B. 2014. CDC Chase hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 183–186. CDC Chase is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that is eligible for grades of the Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat class. High grain yield potential relative to the grain quality checks, CDC Buteo and Moats, is its primary strength. It has excellent stem, leaf, and stripe rust resistance, and low physiological leaf spot and very susceptible bunt ratings. Except for minor differences, its performance has been similar to that of CDC Buteo and Moats for the remainder of the agronomic characters measured. A suitable combination of grain quality, rust resistance, and grain yield make CDC Chase a good fit for the low to intermediate precipitation regions of western Canada.

Crops produced in the semiarid environment of western Canada are subjected to variable and unpredictable periods of drought stress. The objective of this study was to determine the inter-relationships among yield components and grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) so that guidelines could be established for the production of cultivars with high yield potential and stability. Five hard red winter wheat genotypes were grown in 15 field trials conducted throughout Saskatchewan from 1989–1991. Although this study included genotypes with widely different yield potential and yield component arrangements, only small differences in grain yield occurred within trials under dryland conditions. High kernel number, through greater tillering, was shown to be an adaptation to low-stress conditions. The ability of winter wheat to produce large numbers of tillers was evident in the spring in all trials; however, this early season potential was not maintained due to extensive tiller die-back. Tiller die-back often meant that high yield potential genotypes became sink limiting with reduced ability to respond to subsequent improvements in growing season weather conditions. As tiller number increased under more favourable crop water conditions genetic limits in kernels spike−1 became more identified with yield potential. It is likely then, that tillering capacity per se is less important in winter wheat than the development of vigorous tillers with numerous large kernels spike−1. For example, the highest yielding genotype under dryland conditions was a breeding line, S86-808, which was able to maintain a greater sink capacity as a result of a higher number of larger kernels spike−1. It appears that without yield component compensation, a cultivar can be unresponsive to improved crop water conditions (stable) or it can have a high mean yield, but it cannot possess both characteristics.

AAC Elevate is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar that is well adapted across western Canada and eligible for all grades of the Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat class. It was developed using wheat×maize-pollen doubled haploid methodology. AAC Elevate was evaluated in the Western Winter Wheat Cooperative Registration trials relative to CDC Osprey, AC Bellatrix, Radiant and CDC Buteo for 3 yr (2011–2013), with Flourish and Moats added as checks in the latter 2 yr. Based on these 35 replicated trials, AAC Elevate produced higher grain yield than all of the checks (103.3–114.4%) and exhibited good winter survival, medium height with excellent straw strength, large kernels, acceptable end-use quality, and broad disease resistance. AAC Elevate expressed moderate resistance to stem rust and common bunt, intermediate resistance to leaf rust, stripe rust and Fusarium head blight, and resistance to colonization by the wheat curl mite vector for wheat streak mosaic virus.

Fowler, D. B. 2012. Moats hard red winter wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 191–193. Moats is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that is eligible for grades of the Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW) wheat class. It has excellent stem and leaf rust resistance and higher grain yield and protein concentration than the Central Winter Wheat Cooperative Registration Trial CWRW grain quality check cultivar, CDC Buteo. Its grain yield is similar to the high-yielding Registration Trial check cultivar, CDC Falcon, and lower than Accipiter, which is a more recent high-yielding winter wheat cultivar released in the Canada Western General Purpose wheat class. A suitable combination of grain quality, rust resistance and yield make Moats widely adapted in the winter wheat production area of western Canada.
