AAC Jatharia Canada Western Red Spring Wheat

AAC Jatharia (BW483) is a hollow-stemmed, high protein, high yielding spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for the longer season wheat growing areas of the Canadian Prairies. AAC Jatharia was the highest yielding line in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative (CBWC) Registration Tests performed in eastern prairies in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Over two years of testing (2011-2012), AAC Jatharia had grain yield 2.5% higher than Unity, 11.6% higher than 5603HR, 7.8% higher than McKenzie, and 19.2% higher than CDC Teal across all locations. In 2013, AAC Jatharia yielded 6.3% higher than Unity across Manitoba and Saskatchewan locations. AAC Jatharia was resistant to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), and had intermediate resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend), the leaf spot complex, and Fusarium head blight (FHB) (Fusarium graminearum) infection, with lower FHB index and deoxynivalenol (DON) content compared to Unity. AAC Jatharia was resistant to infestation of the orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana GĂŠhin) evaluated over two years (2012 and 2013). It had higher kernel weight and test weight compared to all check cultivars, whereas maturity was within the range of the check cultivars. AAC Jatharia is registered under the Canada Western Red Spring Wheat class for its premium quality attributes.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
