Origin & Breeding History: '5702PR' (experimental designation HY977) originated from the cross HY437/3/Russ//Sumai#3/Dalen made in 1998 in Berthoud, Colorado, USA. Individual head selections were made from an F2 population of this cross at an AgriPro breeding nursery at Rosebank, Manitoba in 1999. Single seed descent was used to advance these selections through the F3 and F4 generations in the greenhouse. In 2000, F5 headrows were individually bulked from a selection nursery at Rosebank, Manitoba. These bulks were screened and selected from a four location observation nursery in 2001. One of the selections was designated 99S3088-05 and tested in the Proven Seed Research plots in 2002 and 2003. It was tested in the High Yielding Wheat Co-op trials as HY977 during the 2004-2006 seasons.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2006 and 2007 in Rosebank, Manitoba. Plot size was 4.0 metres x 1.2 metres with 5 rows per plot. There were 4 replicates arranged in a RCB design.
