2 Cultivar yield ranking may vary from year to year. Decisions are therefore best made using data with the greatest number of years

2 MR=moderately resistant (best); MS=moderately susceptible; S=susceptible; HS=highly susceptible (worst)
** These columns will be updated when the 2023 data are available.
3 For ratings 0 – 9, a high score is undesirable. Disease ratings are taken from naturally occurring infection.
PBR Status: indicates varieties protected under PBR 91 or PBR78.
