The information in this Alberta / British Columbia Variety is based on data collected and updated annually by the Alberta / British Columbia Grains Advisory Committee (ABCGAC), managed by the ALberta Agricultureand Rural Development (AARD), and may be reproduced without prior permission in unaltered form.

Remarks:
Generally durum wheat should only be grown in south and south-eastern portion of Alberta due to late maturity. Outside these areas, durum is extremely late maturing and subject to quality loss. All durum varieties are susceptible to two new races of loose smut. Seed can be treated to provide control. Kyle - yields about 10 % higher than AC Barrie in areas of best adaptation, and receives better grades than other varieties even under adverse harvesting conditions. AC Navigator and Commander– grown under contract with CWB, stronger gluten and semi-dwarf stature. AC Avonlea - shorter stronger straw than Kyle, higher pigment content in grain than other varieties. DT787 and CDC Veronna - insufficient data to describe.
Yield is described as Overall Yield (1) and by Yield Test Category (2).
1) Province wide yields compared to the check with similar stations years of testing.
Yield by Test Category is described as the % of the check variety in bu/ac categories under low, medium, high and
very high conditions. Yield followed by + is significantly higher than the check, yield followed by - is significantly
lower than the check and yield without + or - is not significantly different than the check.
