1 Indexed 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, HWS = hard white spring, EFS = eastern feed spring, -a = awned, SD = spring durum

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

4 These varieties are not widely accepted by all purchasers for quality reasons.

2 For ratings 0-9, a high score is undesirable.
3 Days from planting. Heading and Physiological Maturity vary from year to year and should only be used to indicate relative differences.
4 Fusarium ratings are based on Fusarium head blight ratings and deoxynivalenol (DON) levels from inoculated provincial trials.
   MR=moderately resistant (best); MS=moderately susceptible; S=susceptible; HS=highly susceptible (worst)

1 Indexed 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 Cultivar yield ranking may vary from year to year. Decisions are therefore best made using data with the greatest number of years
3 Rust races have overcome genetic resistance, with variety response being significantly impacted in 2008 unlike previous years.
