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: indicates varieties protected under PBR 91 or PBR78.
