This change recommended fertility. Yield data should only be comparedhas been made to reflect the with the check variety. The information is presented aspractice used for the grain compared to the check variety (in bold). Yield of the testyield data. Yield data from varieties are expressed as wet tons/ac (i.e., 65 per cent moisture,fewer than six site-years can be very misleading which is why the change has been made to only present yield data where is there are at least six site-years of data, from several sites, to represent the potential of a variety. It should also be noted that yields are from small plot trials, which can be higher than yields expected under commercial production. Additional information about variety traits, including disease PEDIGREED SEED tolerance ratings, are available in the wheat grain tables of the Alberta Seed Guide.
