The breeding method was pedigree selection in combination with single seed descent. The major selection criteria are appropriate maturity, good lodging resistance, good seed quality, high seed yield, as well as the reactions to mycosphaerella blight, fusarium wilt and powdery mildew resistance.
Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2007 and 2008 in Lacombe, Alberta. Plots were arranged in a complete randomized block design with 4 replicates. The plot size was 5 x 1 meter with 20 cm row space. The seeding rate was 85 germinating seeds per meter square.
