Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'CDC Leader', 'CDC Frontier', 'Amit', 'CDC Orkney' and 'CDC Lancer'
Summary: The plants of 'CDC Hardy' are shorter than the plants of 'CDC Lancer'. The pod of 'CDC Hardy' is shorter than the pods of 'CDC Leader', 'CDC Frontier' and 'Amit'. The pod beak of 'CDC Hardy' is shorter than that of 'CDC Frontier' and longer than that of 'Amit'. The seed of 'CDC Hardy' has a round to angular shape with a medium degree of ribbing whereas the seed of 'Amit' is round with an absent or very weak to weak ribbing. The dry seed weight of 'CDC Hardy' is less than that of 'CDC Leader', 'CDC Frontier' and 'CDC Orkney' and greater than that of 'Amit'. The plants of 'CDC Hardy' are tolerant to imazamox herbicide whereas the plants of 'CDC Leader', 'CDC Frontier' and 'Amit' are sensitive to imazamox herbicide.
Description:
PLANT: erect to semi-erect growth habit after flowering, medium degree of ramification, medium height, early to mid-season maturity
STEM: no anthocyanin colouration
LEAF: medium green
FLOWER: flowers early to mid-season, white
POD: light to medium green, short to medium length beak, one and two ovules per pod
DRY SEED: beige one month after harvest, medium seed weight, round to angular shape, medium degree of ribbing
Origin & Breeding History: 'CDC Hardy' (experimental designation 2335-23) originated from the cross between BC74-2 and x2001th 75-4 made in 2010 at the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. A single plant selection was made from the F2 population. Subsequent selections were made in the F3 to F8 generations where 12 F9 sub-lines were used to establish the breeder seed in 2018. Selection criteria included yield, seed weight, seed size, seed coat colour, days to flower, days to maturity, plant height and disease resistance.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'CDC Hardy' were conducted by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, at Elrose, Saskatchewan in 2021 and 2023. The trials were arranged in a RCB design consisting of 2 replications per variety. Each replicate consisted of 3 rows spaced 30 cm apart, with a row length of 3.66 metres and a planting density of 40 seeds per square metre. Measured characteristics were based on 20 measurements per variety per year except for seed weight which was based on 8 measurements per variety per year. Mean differences were significant at the 5% confidence probability level based on LSD values. Herbicide tolerances were supported by data provided by the University of Saskatchewan using the methodology as published in Tar`an B. et al. 2014 Theor. Appl. Genet. 127: 1583-1591.
