Varieties with poor (P) winter survival are generally not suitable outside of southern Alberta. The long term average maturity for Radiant is August 10 and is rated as late (L). Fusarium head blight infection may be reduced if varieties with Intermediate (I) resistance or better are used and when recommended seeding dates are followed. Radiant and AAC Elevate have tolerance to the wheat curl mite, the vector for Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus. To preserve the effectiveness of the wheat curl mite tolerance gene, agronomic practices that eliminate the “green bridge” of plant material that serves as a reservoir for mites should be followed whenever possible. Fields in southern Alberta should be inspected in the fall for infestation by Russian wheat aphid, as it may reduce winter survival. AAC Wildfire expresses some tolerance to Russian wheat aphid. AC Tempest, Radiant and AAC Wildfire have bronze chaff at maturity. AAC Icefield is a new special purpose variety with a hard white kernel that has been granted interim registration to facilitate market research. AAC Icefield expresses high milling yield of very white flour and good gluten strength at lower protein concentrations that may be of interest in some niche markets. CDC Ptarmigan and Pintail have an awnless head which may improve palatability when harvested for forage or silage. AAC Elevate is expected to be available in fall 2017. AAC Wildfire, AAC Goldrush and AAC Icefield will not be available in 2017. New registrations: AAC Goldrush (W526), AAC Icefield (W530). † Flagged for possible removal in 2018.
