Aac warman canada western red spring wheat

AAC Warman (BW1025) is a high yielding Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat adapted to the wheat growing areas of Western Canada. AAC Warman was 3% higher yielding than Unity, the highest yielding check in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative registration trials (2014-2016). Within the same test, AAC Warman was 11% higher yielding than Carberry, a popular CWRS wheat variety across the Canadian prairies. AAC Warman matured 3 days earlier than Carberry and a day later than Unity, the earliest maturing check. AAC Warman was shorter than Unity and had better stem strength compared to Unity, however, the lodging score for AAC Warman was higher than the mean of the checks. Over three years of testing (2014-2016), the test weight and thousand kernel weight of AAC Warman was similar to Carberry. The grain protein content of AAC Warman was 0.3% lower than both Unity and Carberry. AAC Warman was rated moderately resistant Fusarium head blight (Fusarium graminearum Schwabe), resistant to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Erikss.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) but was moderately susceptible to stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend) and common bunt [Tilletia caries (DC) Tul. & C. Tul.]. It was rated moderately resistant to loose smut [Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr.] and intermediate resistant to leaf spot complex. AAC Warman was resistant to orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin). Based on the milling and baking performance over three years (2014-2016) evaluated by Grain Research Laboratory, Canadian Grain Commission, AAC Warman was registered under the CWRS market class.
