Origin & Breeding History: 'NQ94PT' was discovered as a single plant of 'CO407' growing in a field on a farm near Kamsack, Saskatchewan (land location coordinates NE-29-1-W2) in the fall of 2000. At harvest, the plant was collected and yielded approximately 75 grams of seed. Over the next six generations, the seed was planted and challenged with applications of Imazethapyr ammonium (Pursuit BASF) in increasing concentrations. During the spring and summer of 2006, plants exhibiting tolerance to full concentrations of the herbicide along with strong seed set were selected.
Tests & Trials: The trials for 'NQ94PT' were conducted in Dewinton, Alberta during the summers of 2012 and 2013. Plots consisted of 2 replicates/variety with each replicate consisting of 2 rows measuring 2.5 metres in length with a row spacing of 30 centimetres. Measured characteristics were based on a minimum of 20 measurements per variety per year.
