Yield results and reporting
The yield comparison tables have several features:
• Overall actual yield of the check (bushels/acre) based
on all data available to the testing program is provided
along with the number of station years of testing.
Variety choice should never be based solely on yield
performance, as it is only one factor that affects net
return. The genetic yield potential of a variety is often
masked by numerous factors, some of which can be
controlled through variety choice and others through
astute agronomic management.
• The range in yield for each Yield Test Category is
defined.
• Actual yield of the check in each Yield Test Category
is reported.
Producers are encouraged to consider other characteristics
such as maturity, plant height, lodging and disease/pest
resistance when deciding which varieties to grow. Long
term satisfaction with a variety is often related to non-yield
characteristics.
• For varieties with sufficient data, the Overall Yield and
performance in each Yield Test Category is expressed
relative to the check.
• Significant statistical differences relative to the check
are indicated.
Exercise caution when making yield comparisons
among varieties. Variety yield should only be directly
compared to the standard reference check. Actual
head-to-head yield comparisons between other varieties
may not have occurred.
Yields that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) than
the check are indicated to aid in the selection process.
No symbol after the yield figure indicates that there is no
statistical difference from the check.
Pay particular attention to data on new varieties that
have not been fully tested. If a large difference from the
check is reported but is not significant, it could mean that
yields have varied widely and/or there are not enough
data to prove a statistical difference. With additional
years of testing, the reported yield differences will
become more accurate.
Small plot agronomic trials are expensive to grow, and
new varieties are registered every year. It is simply
impractical to grow all varieties at the same time.
Following several years of data collection, the yield
performance for a particular variety stabilizes relative to
the check, and further testing is no longer required. It is
for these reasons that the check varieties are grown every
year (e.g. AC Barrie for CWRS wheat, AC Metcalfe for
barley) and that changes to these checks are infrequent.
The “Overall Station Years of Testing” column provides
an indication of the unbalanced nature of the dataset.
To make effective use of the yield comparison tables,
producers should set a realistic yield target for the season
and determine where it fits within the Low, Medium,
High and Very High Yield Test Categories. This approach
facilitates the matching of variety choice to expected
productivity levels and is similar to that used when
making decisions on other levels of inputs.
At least six station-years of yield data collected over two
years are required before reporting the figures in this
publication. For new varieties, Overall Yield is often the
first indication of yield potential relative to the check. As
additional data become available, yield performance is also
expressed on the basis of environmental productivity (Yield
Test Categories of Low, Medium, High and Very High).
Please note that the actual yield levels indicated are from
small plot trials, which may be 15 to 20 per cent higher
than yields expected under commercial production.
Maturity ratings
Yield rankings among varieties can change substantially
due to growing conditions. To reflect these differences,
results from a test site that produced high yield in a
particular year are placed into the database for “high”
yielding environments. The same site may contribute to the
“low” yield category in a drought year, when yields are low.
As is the case for yield, growing conditions have a
tremendous influence on the date of maturity. For
example, a variety of CWRS wheat may mature in
98 days in Lethbridge, but take 103 days to mature
in Edmonton. In the same way, a two-day difference
in maturity between varieties in southern Alberta may
amount to a five-day difference in a more northerly
location.
Consistent performance over all Yield Test Categories
indicates that a variety has environmental responses
similar to the check and may have good yield stability over
a wide range of environments.
To take this factor into account, maturity is expressed
using a five-category scale: Very Early, Early, Medium,
Late and Very Late. To aid producers with this relative
scale, the average number of days to maturity for the
check is reported. Note that this scale is different for
Scientific studies conducted on variety performance in
western Canada have shown that Yield Test Category
analysis provides a more reliable indication of yield
performance than results organized by geographic region.

each crop type. For example, an early barley variety will
mature much earlier than an early flax variety.
treated with a systemic fungicide as low levels of
infection will restrict marketability.
• Refer to labels for maximum storage periods of treated
seed.
Seed size and plant populations
• Treated seed must not be fed to livestock, poultry or
wildlife and cannot be sold for feed.
Seed size within a crop kind will vary from variety to
variety, requiring adjustment of seeding volumes to
achieve desired plant populations. Some of the tables
provide an average 1,000 kernel weight (TKW) that can
be used as a guide for variety differences.
• Leaf spot ratings in the wheat tables are a combination of
resistance to tan spot and septoria leaf disease complex.
• Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium
graminearum and other species, is an increasing
problem in Alberta. The relative ranking of crops
from most susceptible to least susceptible is durum
wheat, common wheat, triticale, barley and oat. Corn
is a host of F. graminearum and can serve as a source
of infection when residue is left on the ground. FHB
infection is highly influenced by the environment and
heading date. A resistant (R) tolerance rating for FHB
does not equate to immunity. Under severe epidemics,
all varieties will sustain damage. All seed should be
tested for the presence of FHB and treated with an
appropriate seed treatment if required. Producers are
advised to choose varieties with the best FHB tolerance
whenever possible and always use best management
practices to slow the spread of this disease.
The best approach is to determine the 1,000 kernel
weight of the seed to be planted, the germination rate, the
emergence mortality and in the case of fall-seeded crops,
an estimate of winterkill.
For more information and user-friendly seeding rate
calculators that take into account these and other
considerations, please see the web page www.agric.gov.

Plant Breeders’ Rights
Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) are a form of intellectual
property rights by which plant breeders can protect new
varieties in the same way an inventor protects a new
invention with a patent. In 2015, Canada amended the
PBR Act to bring it into conformity with UPOV 91.
Varieties protected under the previous legislation
(UPOV 78) are indicated with the logo, whereas those
protected under the new legislation that are shown with a
new logo. The use of the ▲ logo indicates that PBR is
pending.
• Seed used in the Alberta Regional Variety Testing
program comes with a “fusarium-free” certificate, and
trials are inspected for FHB during the growing season.

Canola Variety Information
Disease ratings for canola
The variety description tables summarize the performance
of limited canola varieties tested in 2016 through the postregistration Canola Performance Trial (CPT).
The column indicating “Disease Tolerance” is for
Blackleg, Clubroot or Sclerotinia.
All tested varieties have the resistant (R) rating that
strongly suppresses blackleg but can still develop lesions
or cankers at certain locations and years. Better blackleg
control is achieved through the use of resistant varieties
and by using a 1 in 4 year canola rotation.
The data was audited by field inspection and a data
review process by a joint committee of government and
industry. The data presented was collected from small
plot trials (13 successful in 2016) following scientific
protocols to ensure comparisons are unbiased.
Varieties with clubroot resistance
Detailed notes on other variety attributes, trial
management and variety comparisons at individual
locations or across multiple years and locations can be
found at the website: www.canolaperformancetrials.ca
• Bayer CropScience: L135 C, L241C
• Brett Young: 6056CR, 6076CR, 6086CR
• CANTERRA Seeds: CS2000
The most reliable performance indicator is a comparison
over multiple sites and years. The trial design included
grouping varieties by herbicide tolerance (HT), so the LSD
(Least Significant Differences) has been included for each
group to help determine if yield difference are significant.
• Cargill: V12-3
Large scale (51 successful) trials with limited variety
comparisons were conducted with protocols and selected
audits for proper comparisons, data collection and
scrutiny. Paired “t-test” statistics were used to identify
significant yield differences from the check (5% level).
