The long-term average maturity for AC Barrie is 106 days and rated as Medium (M). Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection is highly influenced by the environment and heading date. Under high levels of FHB all varieties will sustain damage. Moderately Resistant (MR) and Resistant (R) ratings for FHB do not equate to immunity. Varieties rated Intermediate (I) to Susceptible (S) for loose smut or bunt should be treated with a systemic seed treatment to reduce the potential for infection. * Yield figures based on direct and indirect comparisons with AC Barrie.
