2022 Field Season

Yearly trial results are greatly impacted by the growing season conditions. The 2022 growing season started off dry, but timely rains resulted in generally good growing conditions at most locations. Some sites suffered from the early season dryness resulting in the loss of data from some sites. The per cent of useable data from the 2022 CWRS and CPSR trials was 81 percent, CWAD was 75 percent, barley was 79 per cent, oat was 63 per cent, flax was 40 per cent, and triticale was 67 per cent. Overall, 72 per cent of the 2022 regional variety trial data was useable for inclusion in the January 2023 table publication.

2021 Field Season

The 2021 growing season was challenged with drought and heat stress. Many research sites did not produce quality data that met statistical requirements. The per cent of useable data from the 2021 CWRS trials was 40 per cent, CPSR and CWSP trials were 40 per cent, CWAD was 38 per cent, barley was 46 per cent, oat was 50 per cent, flax was 38 per cent, and triticale was 45 per cent. Overall, only 44 per cent of the 2021 regional variety trial data was useable for inclusion in the January 2022 table publication.
