Infinity hard red spring wheat
Infinity hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has exhibited adaptation to a wide range of growing season temperatures and moisture availability. Infinity averaged significantly more grain yield than most other presently registered cultivars, and its grain protein concentration was significantly higher than that of Superb in the Saskatchewan Advisory Council trials. It matured significantly earlier than Superb. The straw length and strength, and volume weight of Infinity was intermediate to the check cultivars. Its seed size was smaller than that of AC Barrie and Superb. Infinity expressed resistance to prevalent races of stem rust and loose smut, moderate resistance to leaf rust and common bunt, and susceptibility to fusarium head blight. Infinity is eligible for all grades of the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat class.
