Pedigree Seed Varieties

AAC Synergy 2-Row Malt Barley produces heavy, plump kernels and short, strong straw with good resistance to lodging.

Product Benefits
Desirable malting quality profile
Good foliar disease resistance
High yielding (13% higher than AC Metcalfe)

AAC Synergy is widely adapted to all barley growing regions of Western Canada. Description AAC Synergy produces heavy, plump kernels and short, strong straw with good resistance to lodging. With a combination of high yield, good foliar disease resistance and excellent malting quality, AAC Synergy is a strong option for western Canadian barley producers and the malting and brewing industry. End-use quality AAC Synergy has a desirable malting quality profile with higher malt extract than AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland, as well as consistently lower beta-glucan content and viscosity.

CDC Copeland Barley (2 Row Malt)

CDC Copeland (barley)is a two-rowed malting barley developed at the University of Saskatchewan by Dr Bryan Harvey and Dr Brian Rossnagel. It was registered for sale in Canada in 1999. The variety was named after William Copeland, a farmer in the Elrose area of Saskatchewan in recognition of his support of the barley program. The variety is particularly adapted to that area of the province of Saskatchewan. CDC Copeland was derived from the cross WM861-5/TR118. At the time of its registration CDC Copeland outyielded Harrington by 16% overall and as much as 26% in some regions of western Canada. It is taller but has stronger straw than Harrington. It has larger, plumper kernels than Harrington and better net blotch and stem rust resistance. It is slightly less prone to pre-harvest sprouting. CDC Copeland has higher extract and friability than Harrington and much lower malt beta glucan. Its diastatic power is slightly lower than Harrington but still suitable for high adjunct brewing. This variety has a mild flavor profile and a produces a pale beer color favored by the Chinese market. CDC Copeland is a good blending variety and favored by several large breweries. It is a favorite of farmers and is widely grown in western Canada.

AAC Brandon Wheat

AAC Brandon is an awned, semi-dwarf CWRS variety that when compared to AC® Carberry has +5% grain yield, 0.5 days earlier maturity, 1 cm shorter and similar lodging tolerance, and excellent disease resistance package. AAC Brandon is well adapted across western Canada but will be especially attractive to wheat producers in the high yielding areas of the Prairies who desire a short, strong strawed variety with good FHB resistance.
Parentage:
Superb/CDC Osler//ND744

Strengths:
• Grain yield 105% of AC® Carberry, over all sites in 2009 to 2011 Coop Registration trials
• 1 cm shorter than AC® Carberry
• Lodging resistance similar to AC® Carberry (slightly weaker)
• Moderately resistant to FHB • Resistant to leaf rust and stem rust
• Moderately resistant to stripe rust • Large seed size, similar to Superb
• ½ day earlier maturing compared to AC® Carberry Neutral Traits:
• Falling # similar to checks
• Grain protein -0.3% of AC® Carberry

Weaknesses:
• Susceptible to common bunt
• Poor rating to sprouting tolerance

AAC WHEATLAND VB CANADA WESTERN RED SPRING WHEAT

AAC Wheatland VB is a very high yielding semidwarf CWRS with excellent lodging tolerance and intermediate resistance to FHB. AAC Wheatland VB is also tolerant to the orange wheat blossom midge. AAC Wheatland VB is well-adapted to the wheat growing regions across the western Canadian Prairies.

Certified seed of AAC Wheatland VB will be sold as a varietal blend made up of 90% AAC Wheatland and 10% AAC Brandon. Blending with the midge susceptible variety AAC Brandon provides a refuge area for non-virulent midge to survive at low levels, thereby extending the useful life of the Sm1 midge tolerance gene.

Parentage: BD94B*D0248/*2 Carberry

Strengths: • 112% of the grain yield of AC® Carberry • Semi-dwarf with height similar to AC® Carberry • Excellent lodging tolerance, better than AC® Carberry • Good sprouting resistance • Resistant to stem rust, leaf rust and loose smut • Moderately resistant to bunt • Good milling characteristics including high falling number during registration trials

Neutral Traits:

Grain protein potential similar to AC® Carberry
Maturity similar to AC® Carberry
Intermediate resistance to FHB and stripe rust

Weakness:

Susceptible to leaf spot
