2 Area III = East of Frontenac County.
3 sww=soft white winter, srw=soft red winter, hrw=hard red winter, a= awned.
4 Cultivar yield rankings may vary from year to year. Decisions are therefore best made using data with the greatest number of years.
All Area III trials lost in 2005, thus no 4 year averages to report.

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