Varieties of Cereal and Oilseed Crops for Alberta
Annual variety performance
information can help producers
with crops decisions.
This annual publication provides information on cereal and oilseed variety performance in Alberta
and northeastern British Columbia. Important agronomic characteristics and disease tolerance information are provided for varieties of wheat, barley, oat, rye, triticale, flax and canola.
The Alberta Regional Variety Testing program for cereals and flax is co-ordinated by the Alberta Regional Variety Advisory Committee (ARVAC) and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AAF). Funding for the program is provided by the following:
• Alberta Agriculture and Forestry• Alberta Wheat Commission• Alberta Barley Commission• Alberta Oat Growers Association• Alberta Seed Growers• Alberta Seed Processors• Prairie Oat Growers Association• Entry fees for the varieties being
tested

Sincere thanks are extended to all individuals and organizations who contribute to this publication.
Yield results and reportingVariety choice should never be based solely on yield performance as it is only one factor that affects net return. The genetic yield potential of a variety is often masked by numerous factors, some of which can be controlled through variety choice and others through astute agronomic management.
Producers are encouraged to consider other characteristics such as maturity, plant height, lodging and disease/pest resistance when deciding which varieties to grow. Long term satisfaction with a variety is often related to non-yield characteristics.

New for 2018On a trial basis for 2018, the yield data for CWRS wheat are reported in two ways. The first method is the traditional manner that has been used since 2010 (see below). New for 2018 is an alternative method that reports head-to-head comparisons of all varieties on the annual trials within a five-year time frame.
This new method retains low and high yield test categories based on the average yield of the AC Barrie (60 bu/ac), the long-term check. The advantage of this method is that all comparisons within a column are statistically valid, rather than only to the check.
An Overall Yield column is also presented, but in this case, all data are reported resulting in a dataset with varying numbers of comparisons over different years. Thus, for the Overall Yield column, the only valid comparison is back to the common check as has been the case in the traditional method of reporting. Statistical differences among the varieties are also reported for the Overall Yield column. Comments on this new data reporting format are welcome.
Also new for 2018 is the inclusion of “benchmark” varieties. Producers have asked for additional checks in the regional variety trials that reflect more commonly grown varieties. To accommodate this request, two additional varieties are now grown as “benchmark” checks, and these reflect the two most popular varieties for the crop or within a market class during the previous year, based on crop insurance data. These checks will change as the popularity of varieties change.
Traditional yield reporting methodExercise caution when making yield comparisons among varieties. Variety yield should only be directly compared to the standard reference check. Actual head-to-head yield comparisons between other varieties may not have occurred.
Small plot agronomic trials are expensive to grow, and new varieties are registered every year. It is simply impractical to grow all varieties at the same time.
Following several years of data collection, the yield performance for a particular variety stabilizes relative to the check, and further testing is no longer required. It is for these reasons that the check varieties are grown every year (e.g. AC Barrie for CWRS wheat, AC
Metcalfe for barley) and that changes to these checks are infrequent. The “Overall Station Years of Testing” column provides an indication of the unbalanced nature of the dataset.
At least six station-years of yield data collected over two years are required before reporting the figures in this publication. For new varieties, Overall Yield is often the first indication of yield potential relative to the check. As additional data become available, yield performance is also expressed on the basis of environmental productivity (Yield Test Categories of Low, Medium, High and Very High).
Yield rankings among varieties can change substantially due to growing conditions. To reflect these differences, results from a test site that produced high yield in a particular year are placed into the database for “high” yielding environments. The same site may contribute to the “low” yield category in a drought year, when yields are low.
Consistent performance over all Yield Test Categories indicates that a variety has environmental responses similar to the check and may have good yield stability over a wide range of environments.
Scientific studies conducted on variety performance in western Canada have shown that Yield Test Category analysis provides a more reliable indication of yield performance than results organized by geographic region.
The yield comparison tables have several features:
• Overall actual yield of the check (bushels/acre) based on all data available to the testing program is provided along with the number of station years of testing.
• The range in yield for each Yield Test Category is defined.
• Actual yield of the check in each Yield Test Category is reported.
• For varieties with sufficient data, the Overall Yield and performance in each Yield Test Category is expressed relative to the check.
• Significant statistical differences relative to the check are indicated.
Yields that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) than the check are indicated to aid in the selection process. No symbol after the yield figure indicates that there is no statistical difference from the check.
3
Pay particular attention to data on new varieties that have not been fully tested. If a large difference from the check is reported but is not significant, it could mean that yields have varied widely and/or there are not enough data to prove a statistical difference. With additional years of testing, the reported yield differences will become more accurate.
To make effective use of the yield comparison tables, producers should set a realistic yield target for the season and determine where it fits within the Low, Medium, High and Very High Yield Test Categories. This approach facilitates matching of variety choice to expected productivity levels and is similar to that used when making decisions on other levels of inputs.
Please note that the actual yield levels indicated are from small plot trials, which may be 15 to 20 per cent higher than yields expected under commercial production.
Maturity ratingsAs is the case for yield, growing conditions have a tremendous influence on the date of maturity. For example, a variety of CWRS wheat may mature in 98 days in Lethbridge, but take 103 days in Edmonton. In the same way, a two-day difference in maturity between varieties in southern Alberta may amount to a five-day difference in a more northerly location.
To take this factor into account, maturity is expressed using a five-category scale: Very Early, Early, Medium, Late and Very Late. To aid producers with this relative scale, the average number of days to maturity for the check is reported. Note that this scale is different for each crop type. For example, an early barley variety will mature much earlier than an early flax variety.
Seed size and plant populationsSeed size within a crop kind will vary from variety to variety, requiring adjustment of seeding volumes to achieve desired plant populations. Some of the tables provide an average 1000 kernel weight (TKW) which can be used as a guide for variety differences.
The best approach is to determine the 1000 kernel weight of the seed to be planted, germination rate, emergence mortality and in the case of fall seeded crops, an estimate of winterkill.
For more information and user-friendly seeding rate calculators that take into account these and other
Plant Breeders’ RightsPlant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) are a form of intellectual property rights by which plant breeders can protect new varieties in the same way an inventor protects a new invention with a patent.
In 2015, Canada amended the PBR Act to bring it into conformity with UPOV 91. Varieties protected under the previous legislation (UPOV 78) are indicated with the logo, whereas those protected under the new legislation that are shown with a new logo. The use of the ▲ logo indicates that an application for PBR has been accepted.
For more information on Plant Breeders’ Rights, please see www.pbrfacts.ca or the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website at www.inspection.gc.ca.
CanolaThe Alberta Regional Variety Advisory Committee (ARVAC) does not take any responsibility for accuracy or validity of the canola performance data.
Diseases, seed treatment and seed testing• Disease ratings are compiled from various data
sources in Alberta and other prairie provinces.• Treat rye and flax seed to control seedling blight;
cereal seed for smuts and fusarium; canola seed to control flea beetle, seedling blight and the seed-borne phase of virulent blackleg.
• Wheat with Moderately Susceptible (MS) or Susceptible (S) ratings for common bunt should be treated with a systemic fungicide as low levels of infection will restrict marketability.
• Refer to labels for maximum storage periods of treated seed.
• Treated seed must not be fed to livestock, poultry or wildlife and cannot be sold for feed.
• Leaf spot ratings in the wheat tables are a combination of resistance to tan spot and septoria leaf disease complex.
• Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum and other species, is an increasing problem in Alberta. The relative ranking of crops from most susceptible to least susceptible is durum wheat, common wheat, triticale, barley and oat. Corn is a host of F. graminearum and can serve as a source of infection when residue
4
is left on the ground. FHB infection is highly influenced by the environment and heading date. A resistant (R) tolerance rating for FHB does not equate to immunity. Under severe epidemics, all varieties will sustain damage. All seed should be tested for the presence of FHB and treated with an appropriate seed treatment if required. Producers are advised to choose varieties with the best FHB tolerance whenever possible and always use best management practices to slow the spread of this disease.
• Seed used in the Alberta Regional Variety Testing program comes with a “fusarium-free” certificate, and trials are inspected for FHB during the growing season.

Canola variety informationCanola Performance Trials (CPT) have been conducted since 2011 and represent the next generation in variety evaluation for Western Canadian canola growers. The trials were designed to provide the following key information:
• relevant, unbiased and timely performance data that reflects actual production practices
• comparative data on leading varieties and newly introduced varieties from participating companies
• detailed reporting on agronomic characteristics such as yield, height, lodging, maturity and economic performance as well as site specific performance variables including weather, soil type, crop nutrition, seeding and harvest management
The CPT trials are conducted under the guidance of a governance committee that approves participating varieties, protocol design, data collection, analyses, reports and finance management.
The 2017 CPT program was funded by the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, SaskCanola and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association with contributions from the British Columbia Grain Producers Association. The Canola Council of Canada delivers the program on their behalf. More about the CPT program and the CPT Technical and Governance Committee is in the Canola Variety Selection Guide available at the website: www.canolaperformancetrials.ca/
Canola trial summariesThe CPT summaries in this factsheet are based on successful trials that did not show confounding factors during field inspections. The combination of drought and excessive moisture in different areas resulted in only 10 successful small plot trials in 2017. The small trial sites were distributed based on seeded acres in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Small plot trials included a limited selection of popular and newly introduced varieties. The new small plot system ensured the following:
• all varieties are treated with appropriate commercially associated herbicides and seed treatments
• an independent third-party representative inspected all trials
• harvest occurred at the most appropriate time to minimize harvest losses due to maturity differences
Field scale comparisons add extra perspective for assessing consistency in variety performance. In 2015, the large scale comparisons were changed to assess the yield impact of selected shatter tolerant varieties under swath or straight cut harvest systems. In 2017, selected clubroot resistant varieties were also tested in large scale trials (but not on clubroot infested land).
Canola trial analysisTo ensure quality data and statistical analysis, the CPT technical committee established protocols and developed research plot designs. Performance objectives were established to provide guidelines on timely field operations and data collection. All sites were inspected to verify that guidelines were followed for fair comparisons among the varieties tested.
Audits of field scale projects give growers the confidence that the protocol was conducted in a scientifically sound manner and that comparisons are appropriate. Qualified professionals with extensive backgrounds in conducting field scale research trials performed the audits.
Small yield differences can easily be due to random variation and, thus, are unlikely to be real effects of varieties. When comparing average zone yields for varieties in the small plot data, the least significant difference (LSD) ranged from 10 to 14 per cent in 2017. This number is based on a confidence level that similar differences would occur by chance less than 5 per cent of the time.
In the small plot design used, varieties are grouped by herbicide system, which means that the LSD shown strictly applies only to comparisons between a few varieties of the same herbicide system. Comparisons between many varieties or between different herbicide systems are still valid, but the LSD would be larger.
More importantly, comparisons between varieties within the same herbicide system reveal only genetic differences, whereas variety comparisons from different herbicide systems involve the net effect of both genetic and herbicide effects (weed control + crop tolerance).
When comparing variety yields in the field scale summaries, an asterisk (*) indicates yields that are statistically different (5% level) using the paired t-test.
20
As results from more sites are combined, the statistical power to determine if small differences are not due to chance often improves quickly up to 15 to 20 sites, and then marginally after that. This result means that smaller differences are more relevant when all sites are averaged, rather than just a few selected sites. Also, the predictability that the average yield differences would likely occur in other fields in future years increases when there are a high number of individual sites for comparing two varieties.
Where are CPT results available?Results from zones with less than 5 sites of data are not shown in this publication due to limited reliability. Full results are available through an online interactive tool at the website: www.canolaperformancetrials.ca
The interactive tool allows growers to explore many agronomic factors and to search for trial data in specific geographic areas near their farming operations. Details on management, operations and environmental data for each individual site will be reported online. The online tool has an economic calculator that includes the costs associated with growing the selected variety to assist growers in determining potential profitability.
Brassica rapa (Polish canola) and Canola Quality Brassica juncea: no varieties were tested under PCT in 2012 through 2017.
