1 Values differing by less than 3 within a column may not represent true differences in yield.

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

Stripe rust pressure was severe in 2025, please refer to Table 3a to see yield impact where fungicide was applied for disease control.

1 See Head to Head comparisons on GoCrops.ca website for multi-year data for trait characteristics.

2 MR=moderately resistant (best); MS=moderately susceptible; S=susceptible; HS=highly susceptible (worst).

3 For ratings 0 – 9, a high score is undesirable. Disease ratings are taken from naturally occurring infection. Stripe rust pressure was particularly prevalent in 2024 and 2025, with some varieties being significantly impacted.

PBR Status: PBR91 PBR78 indicates varieties protected under PBR 91 or PBR78.
