1) % AC Metcalfe by Area. Refer to Alberta testing zone map for the geographical areas.
2) Yield by Test Category is described as the % of the test mean in bu/ac categories under low, medium, high and very high conditions
Varieties designated with a * have limited or no data compared with AC Metcalfe as the check variety.
As a result the area yields for these varieties have been adjusted to AC Metcalfe from Harrington.
Maturites are stated in days +/- AC Metcalfe. Data marked XX, not sufficient data to describe.
Ratings: EX = Excellent, VG = Very Good, G = Good, F = Fair, P = Poor, VP = Very Poor.

Yield is described by the following two categories.
1) % AC Metcalfe by Area. Refer to Alberta testing zone map for the geographical areas.
2) Yield by Test Category is described as the % of the test mean in bu/ac categories under low, medium, high and very high conditions
Varieties designated with a * have limited or no data compared with AC Metcalfe as the check variety.
As a result the area yields for these varieties have been adjusted to AC Metcalfe from Harrington.
Maturites are stated in days +/- AC Metcalfe. Data marked XX, not sufficient data to describe.
Malting barley varieties are designated as per the CMBTC (Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre 204-984-4399) as;
Recommended - as varieties expected to be selected for both foreign and domestic markets in 2009.
Under test - not being grown for the commercial market but for testing and market development (not a complete list).
Other - not recommended but a market may exist for these varieties.
Malting barley varieties currently in development but with insufficient data to describe in these tables are;
2 Row - Bentley, CDC Meredith, CDC Reserve, CDC Landis, CDC PolStar, Norman, Merit 16, Merit 57
6 Row - CDC Mayfair, CDC Laurence, CDC Kamsack
Ratings: EX = Excellent, VG = Very Good, G = Good, F = Fair, P = Poor, VP = Very Poor.
