Hucl, P.J.Crowle, W.L.Hughes, G.R.2018-09-212018-09-211988-02-19http://hdl.handle.net/10388/10843A supposedly very high yielding branched spike wheat (BSW) was shown to yield as much as 75 % less than standard Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) cultivars when severely infected with leaf and stem rust. With little or no disease pressure BSW still yielded 25-30% less than semi-dwarf wheat cultivars under both dryland and irrigated conditions. The BSW was very tall and later maturing than HY 320. Kernel and quality characteristics of BSW would appear to limit its market potential regardless of yield.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 CanadaPresentation
