Variety Description
Varieties used for comparison: 'Memphré', 'AAC Synox' and 'Toundra'
Summary: The anthocyanin colouration of the flag leaf auricle for 'Maida' is absent or very weak to weak whereas it is of medium intensity for 'AAC Synox' and of medium to strong intensity for 'Toundra'. At booting, the flag leag of 'Maida' is wider than the flag leaf of 'Toundra'. The plants of 'Maida' head earlier than those of 'AAC Synox' and 'Toundra'. The glaucosity of the spike for 'Maida' is of a medium degree whereas it is weak for 'Memphré'. At maturity, the plants of 'Maida' are taller than those of 'Memphré' and 'AAC Synox'. The spike of 'Maida' is shorter than those of 'AAC Synox' and 'Toundra'. The lower glume for 'Maida' is narrow to medium in width whereas it is medium to wide for 'AAC Synox'. The lower glume shoulder is narrow and straight for 'Maida' whereas it is of medium width and slightly sloping for 'AAC Synox'. The plants of 'Maida' mature earlier than those of 'AAC Synox' and 'Toundra'. The thousand kernel weight is greater for 'Maida' than that of 'Memphré' and 'AAC Synox'.
Description:

Origin & Breeding History: 'Maida' (experimental designations BS10-759 and C1M17174) originated from the cross 'AC Walton' // FE 20 / BS97-332 /// 'AC Walton' conducted at Céréla Research Station Inc. in St. Hugues, Quebec, Canada in 2002. The F1 to F5 generations were mass cultivated in Ste. Rosalie Quebec from 2003 to 2007 where seed selections were made based on grain density at each generation. Spikes were selected from the F5 plants in 2009 and planted in single rows. F6 individual rows were selected on the basis of disease resistance and performance. The line designated as 'BS10-759' was initially evaluated in screening trials based on yield, lodging and disease resistance from 2011 to 2014 and further evaluated in registration trials conducted by the Reseau Grandes Cultures du Québec in 2015 and 2016.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'Maida' were conducted at Céréla Inc. in St-Hugues, Quebec, during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. Plots consisted of 5 rows, each row 5 metres long with an inter-row spacing of 0.19 metres. The seeding density was approximately 425 seeds per squared metre. There were 2 replications per variety arranged in an RCB design. Measured plant characteristics were based on a minimum of 20 measurements per variety per year. Mean differences are significant at the 5% probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
