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.
3 Entry has been dropped from the 2005/2006 Winter Wheat Performance Trial.
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);
5 Entry has been dropped from the 2005/2006 Winter Wheat Performance Trial
