Plain language summary
AAC Magnet (BW1045) is an awned, hollow stemmed high yielding Canada Western Red Spring wheat adapted to the growing conditions in the Canadian Prairies. AAC Magnet was 5% higher yielding than Glenn and yielded 2% more than Carberry, a popular CWRS wheat variety across the Canadian prairies. AAC Magnet matured 2 days earlier than Carberry and a day later than Unity, the earliest maturing check. AAC Magnet had same height as Glenn and was shorter with better stem strength compared to Unity. AAC Magnet had better lodging scores compared to Unity. Over the three years of testing (2015-2017), the test weight of AAC Magnet was slightly lower than the lowest checks , whereas the thousand kernel weight of AAC Magnet was higher than all the checks. The grain protein content of AAC Magnet was 0.3% lower than Carberry. AAC Magnet was rated moderately resistant to Fusarium head blight, resistant to leaf rust and stem rust. AAC Magnet was moderately susceptible/susceptible to resistant to Ug99 family of stem rusts, resistant to loose smut, intermediately resistant to stripe rust, intermediate to susceptible to common bunt, and moderately susceptible to the leaf spot complex. AAC Magnet was susceptible to orange wheat blossom midge. Based on the milling and baking performance over three years (2015-2017) evaluated by the Grain Research Laboratory, Canadian Grain Commission, AAC Magnet was registered under the CWRS market class.
Abstract
AAC Magnet (BW1045) is an awned, hollow-stemmed, high-yielding Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat adapted to growing conditions in the Canadian Prairies. AAC Magnet was 5% higher yielding than Glenn and yielded 2% more than Carberry, a popular CWRS wheat variety across the Canadian Prairies. AAC Magnet matured 2 d earlier than Carberry and a day later than Unity, the earliest maturing check. AAC Magnet had the same height as Glenn and was shorter with better stem strength compared with Unity. AAC Magnet had better lodging scores compared with Unity. Over the 3 yr of testing (2015–2017), the test weight of AAC Magnet was slightly lower than the lowest checks, whereas the 1000-kernel weight of AAC Magnet was higher than all of the checks. The grain protein content of AAC Magnet was 0.3% lower than Carberry. AAC Magnet was rated moderately resistant to Fusarium head blight (Fusarium graminearum Schwabe), resistant to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Erikss. & E. Henn). AAC Magnet was moderately susceptible/susceptible to resistant to the Ug99 family of stem rusts, resistant to loose smut [Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.], intermediately resistant to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend.), susceptible to common bunt [Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul. & C. Tul.], and moderately susceptible to leaf spot complex. AAC Magnet was susceptible to orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin). Based on the milling and baking performance over 3 yr (2015–2017) evaluated by the Grain Research Laboratory, Canadian Grain Commission, AAC Magnet was classified as CWRS wheat.
