Rye (Secale cereale L.) grain with low extract viscosity (EV) and superior kernel characteristics is desired when used in diets of monogastric animals. Knowledge of the relationship between EV and kernel characteristics is needed to develop an efficient selection strategy for breeding cultivars that meet the two criteria. Grains of 11 open-pollinated population varieties/lines grown in 21 environments were studied to determine the relationship between EV and kernel weight (KWT) among genotypes and environmental effects. Grains of eight out of the eleven varieties/lines were screened into five kernel-size categories, <2.0, 2.0–2.4, 2.4–2.8, 2.8–3.2, >3.2 mm in kernel width, to determine the relationship between EV and kernel width within a genotype. EV was a linear function of KWT; high KWT is indicative of low EV. The degree of the relationship was affected by environment. For example, grains grown at Swift Current had a stronger relationship between EV and KWT than those from Lacombe (b = −1.67 vs. −0.31). For the grain from Swift Current, 60% of variability in EV was attributable to KWT, while for the grain from Lacombe only ≈ 20% of variability in EV was explainable by KWT. Among the various kernel-width categories within a genotype, 60 to 98% of variability in EV was attributable to kernel width, with some genotypes responding to a greater degree than others. In development of winter rye cultivars low in extract viscosity, breeders could combine kernel weight/width into the selection strategy to enhance the selection progress or use kernel weight/width as a reference in selection of extract viscosity trait.

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.

Three winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivars, Cougar, Puma and Musketeer, were grown in a field experiment for 2 yr to determine the effects of kernel water concentration (KWC) at harvest time and drying method on final quality and grade of the grain. Plots were harvested when KWC was in the range of 950–100 g water kg−1 kernel dry weight. Grain was dried in windrows in the field and artificially in a forced-air oven at 40–45 °C. Kernel water concentration at harvest, test mass, kernel mass, falling number and germination were determined. Test mass increased as KWC at harvest decreased, especially in the artificially dried treatments. Kernel mass was lower when harvested at high KWC, especially in the windrowed treatments. Falling numbers were affected by harvest time and drying method, but trends were not clear. Germination was reduced by artificial drying at KWC greater than 430 g kg−1. Grades were not affected by windrowing at KWC up to 957 g kg−1. Artificial drying reduced commercial grades, especially at high KWC. The main degrading factors were presence of immature kernels and low test mass.Key words: Test mass, artifical drying, windrow, germination, falling number, harvest time

Winter rye (Secale cereale L.) is well adapted to the Canadian prairies and rye grain with low extract viscosity (EV) may become an important component in animal diets. Information on how environmental factors affect EV is needed for facilitating the selection of low EV materials and production of low EV grain. Eleven winter rye genotypes were grown in thirteen environments on the Canadian prairies. The grain was studied to determine the effects of precipitation and growing degree-days on EV. The amount of precipitation that plants received 5 wk immediately after heading (P5wk) was closely associated with EV (r = −0.62 to −0.76). Growing degree-days accumulated in 5 wk after heading (GDD5wk) had a smaller but significant (P < 0.05) association to EV (r = 0.34 to 0.61). EV was not correlated with temperature or precipitation during the periods from planting to heading or the whole growing season. For all genotypes tested, EV decreased rapidly with increase of P5wk when P5wk was below 140 mm. When P5wk was greater than 140 mm, the response of EV to P5wk was reduced. Genotypes were significantly different in the response of EV to P5wk; the rate of change in EV with P5wk was greater for some genotypes than for others as indicated by regression slopes. For example, the genotype RT-150 had a regression slope five times greater than that of the genotype G-66S. Our study indicates that the critical growth stage when EV can be affected was after plant heading and that the amount of precipitation that plants receive during the period of 5 wk after heading can be used to predict the relative viscosity level for rye grown in different environments.

It is well-adapted to Western Canadian growing conditions. It was licensed in July 1980. Breeder seed of Musketeer will be maintained by the Swift Current Research Station, Agriculture Canada. Seed will be distributed through SeCan.

AAC Redstar is an early maturing, high yielding hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar that is well adapted to the northern Canadian Prairies and eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat. Over three years (2016-2018) of testing in the Parkland Wheat Cooperative registration trials, AAC Redstar was 11% higher yielding than AC Splendor, 6% higher than Parata, and 4% higher than Glenn and Carberry. AAC Redstar matured 3 days earlier than Glenn, 2 days earlier than Carberry and had similar maturity to Parata. AAC Redstar was shorter than all checks except Carberry and had better lodging resistance compared to all the check cultivars in the registration trial. The test weight and thousand kernel weight of AAC Redstar were similar to Carberry. The grain protein concentration of AAC Redstar was 0.2% lower than Carberry. AAC Redstar was rated moderately resistant to Fusarium head blight, leaf rust, stripe rust and common bunt. AAC Redstar had resistant reactions to loose smut, and stem rust. AAC Redstar was registered under the CWRS market class.
