Winter wheat has the potential to produce 20 – 30% higher yields than spring wheat as the winter crop can more efficiently utilize spring moisture, out-compete weeds and due to early maturation, circumvent the peak of Fusarium Head blight infections However, due to insufficient winter-hardiness…
Translation of upstream genetic technology into breeding applications is essential to the continued improvement of wheat cultivars adapted to western Canadian conditions Advancing breeding methods will help improve cultivars to diseases such as Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) while maintaining grain…
Alberta’s most important crop is spring wheat, with a farm-gate value of about $11billion per year Canadian Prairie Spring Red (CPS-R) was developed to compete with American winter wheat for markets of lower protein and higher yields than Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS) Estimated annual…
