Remarks: Environment productivity divisions are based on the individual site means for small plot trial yields: Low = under 48 bu/A; Medium = 48 to 80 bu/A; High = 80 to 112 bu/A; V. High = over 112 bu/A. The provincial average maturity date for Prima is August 3 (215 days after January 1). AC Rifle and AC Remington are semi-dwarf varieties. Hazlet has lower viscosity which improves feed performance in monogastric livestock.

xx = insufficient data to report
ns = not suitable
Ratings: EX = Excellent, VG = Very Good, G = Good, F = Fair, P = Poor, VP = Very Poor.

Remarks: All varieties are late maturing compared to CWRS wheats(approximately 5 days later). Pronghorn and AC Ultima are earlier maturing than other spring triticale varieties.  Large seeded varieties should have an increased seeding rate. Companion is a forage type. Bunker and Tyndal are reduced-awn varieties.  Triticale susceptibility to FHB is similar to wheat. Pronghorn yields about 30%  greater than AC Barrie CWRS wheat in areas of adaptation.  Yield categories are based on small plot data are as follows: Low is <50 bu/acre; Medium is >50 but <80 bu/acre; High >80 but <100 bu/acre; and Very High >100 bu/acre. xx: insufficient data.

Ratings: VP -  very poor, P - poor, F - fair, G - good, VG - very good
