i On the Farm Supplement of The Canadian Statesman and Newcastle Independent, Wednesday, March 20,1991 9 Recommendations on Spring Cereal Crops by D.E. Falk Crop Science, OA.C. For Areas II and the primary spring IV, in cereal producing region of the province, province, barley generally outperforms outperforms oats and spring wheat at 4.5 T/ha versus 3.8 and 2.6 T/hà respectively. As feed, however, tne 10% hull in barley and the 25% hull in oats reduce the energy . per ton somewhat when compared to wheat. Barley acreage has remained fairly constant in recent years, while oats continues, to decline decline in the long term. The acreage of spring wheat remains remains low. Prices have been rock-bottom for feed grain and very little of the spring wheat has made the top grades for milling. Varieties of all cereals generally rank the same in Areas II and IV, but yields are often higher in Area IV. Barley The number of barley va-* rieties available to farmers is fairly high due to the development development of new varieties at a rapid pace by both private private and public breeding programs. Since several of the new varieties are superi or to older varieties in one or more traits, a number of older, older, established varieties have been outclassed and identified for possible removal removal from recommendation. recommendation. Two-Row Varieties The varieties Craig, Helena, Helena, Micmac and Rodeo have all been marked for possible removal from recommendation recommendation in 1992. All of them are below average for yield in Areas II and IV, with Craig and Micmac also having low kernel weights. Micmac has some lodging problems and is very susceptible to smut. . New varieties: The new variety, Lester, is doing well, with high kernel weight and high yield in both areas. Morrison also has a good kernel weight and good yields. Symko has ;ood kernel weight but a ging problem and is somewhat lower in yield. Six Row Varieties; The variety Joly has been marked for possible removal from recommendation in 1992. It has occasionally had lodging problems, is quite susceptible to smut, and has never performed very well in Areas II and IV. It never became popular with farmers and seed supplies supplies have never been plentiful. plentiful. Leger continues to be popular, although its yields are dropping and grain quality quality is relatively poor, primarily primarily due to its high susceptibility susceptibility to mildew. New Varieties: Chapais has done very well in tests in Ontario. It has a very high kernel weight, similar to many two-rowed varieties and very high yields. It does have some susceptibility to smut and is becoming more susceptible to mildew. Etienne is performing well, despite a high susceptibility to mildew. Maskot and Sabina Sabina are selections from the same cross and both show good mildew resistance but Sabina seems to be coming out on top in yield. OAC Kippen continues to have complete resistance to mildew mildew and about average yields. It had some lodging problems and is susceptible to some races of smut but is resistant to newer races. Oats The number of oat varieties varieties being recommended has been reduced considerably because a number of the older older varieties have been clearly clearly outclassed by newer ones. Donald has been marked for possible removal from the 1992 recommendations due to low yields and susceptibility susceptibility to rust and lodging. Marion Marion has average yields in Areas Areas II and IV and high kernel weight but has a tendency tendency to lodge and is susceptible susceptible to rust and BYDV. Newman is performing about average in these areas and has excellent rust resistance. resistance. It should move into most of the traditional Donald Donald and OAC Woodstock acreage very ouickly. Ogle continues to yield well, probably probably due to its very good BYDV resistance and lodging lodging resistance. It does have small kernels and a yellow hull and so is not in great demand. All four of the above-mentioned varieties are accepted for milling. New Varieties: The variety variety Ultima has been added to the recommendations due to its high yield and some tolerance tolerance to BYDV. It is quite susceptible to rust, however, and has relatively small kernels. kernels. Spring Wheat The variety Glenlea is MAGNUM means more, Let us show you howmuchmore! MAGNUM 7120 150 PTO hp (112 kW) Seeing is believing! Which is why we encourage you to field-test a MAGNUM 7120 tractor, From headlights to hitch, MAGNUM means more: More power from a 505 cu. in.

Three varieties of spring wheat are accepted for milling, milling, however the grade is usually not particularly good. Columbus and Katep- wa continue to be recommended recommended although their yields are quite a bit lower than Roblin. Roblin also has a higher kernel weight, better better lodging resistance and better resistance to rust and mildew. Roblin is also earlier earlier maturing. Outlook There are several new barleys in the registration trials with higher yield and better disease resistance. New oats are coming with better rust and BYDV resistance. resistance. New spring wheat lines are coming along with much better adaptation to Ontario and, consequently, much higher yields than current current varieties.
