2007 Performance Trials for Spring Cereal Crops

The Ontario Cereal Crop Committee is one of the subcommittees of the Ontario Field Crop Research and Services Committee. These are part of the OASCC (Ontario Agricultural Services Coordinating Committee). These committees are coordinated by OMAFRA with membership from government, research personnel, industry and grower organizations.

¹Indexed for each site and then averaged. Index = 100 x (variety yield ÷ site yield). Values differing by less than 3 within a column may not represent true differences in yield.

² hrs = hard red spring, efs = eastern feed spring, -a = awned

³ Cultivar yield rankings may vary from year to year. Decisions are therefore best made using data with the greatest number of years.

⁴Good samples of these varieties are widely accepted by the milling industry. Some varieties are not accepted by some Wheat Board agents and/or flour mills due to unique quality traits. Consult the OWPMB or the variety sponsor for details.
