‘Bentley’ (Reg. No. CV‐342, PI 655071; CFIA Reg. No. 6489, Canadian PBR Appl. No. 08‐6331) is a two‐rowed, hulled, spring malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC), Lacombe, AB, Canada. Bentley was tested in FCDC trials as H93103004 from 2000 to 2004 and in Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley trials as TR05669 and FB414 during 2005, 2006, and 2007. It was registered for production in western Canada due to its high yields for both grain and biomass, good agronomic performance, and good grain quality traits especially for malting. Bentley is resistant to the spot form of net blotch (caused by Pyrenophora teres forma maculate Smedge) and moderately resistant to the surface‐borne smuts (caused by Ustilago spp.) and spot blotch [caused by Cochliobolus sativus (Ito & Kuribayashi) Drechs. ex Dastur].
Fusarium head blight (FHB) challenges the malting and brewing industry due to the presence of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) in infected grain. New barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars must have improved resistance while still providing producers with robust, high yield. 'Lowe' (Reg. no. CV-369, PI 689750; Canadian Food Inspection Agency Reg. no. 8132; Canadian PBR Cert. No. 5884) is a two-rowed, hulled, spring barley developed for malting use, especially for the craft brewing industry. Lowe has a high level of resistance to FHB, accumulating 50% less DON than 'AC Metcalfe', with levels similar to the most-resistant check, 'Chevron'. Lowe was created using a modified bulk breeding method with the headrow that produced Lowe derived from a F 6 population. It was tested as TR13609 in trials managed by the Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley from 2013 to 2015. Lowe outyielded the malting checks AC Metcalfe and 'CDC Copeland' in 2 yr of agronomic evaluation. It is a tall cultivar with better lodging resistance than the malting checks. Lowe matures 3 d later than the malting checks. Lowe has excellent properties for malting and brewing, with low protein, high extract, and low b-glucan concentrations in the wort. Lowe is resistant to surface-borne and loose smuts and moderately resistant to scald, spot form of net blotch, and FHB. Lowe combines excellent agronomic, disease, and
‘Busby’ (Reg. No. CV‐343, PI 656596; CFIA Reg. No. 6540; Canadian PBR Appl. No. 08‐6470) is a two‐rowed, hulled, spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC), Lacombe, AB, Canada. Busby was tested in FCDC trials as H94034003 from 2001 to 2005 and in Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley trials as TR06673 during 2006 and 2007. It was registered for production in western Canada due to its good combination of yield, agronomic performance, grain quality traits, and disease resistance. Busby is resistant to the surface‐borne smuts (caused by Ustilago spp.) and moderately resistant to the spot form of net blotch (caused by Pyrenophora teres forma maculate Smedge). Busby has shown reactions to scald [caused by Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem.) J.J. Davis] similar to the two‐rowed cultivar Seebe that has proven to have durable resistance in Alberta, Canada.
‘Gadsby’ (Reg. No. CV‐347, PI 659700; Canadian Food Inspection Agency Reg. No. 6831; Canadian PBR Appl. No. 10‐6980) is a two‐rowed, hulled, spring, general‐purpose barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC), Lacombe, AB, Canada. Gadsby was tested in FCDC trials as H96043002 from 2002 to 2007 and in Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley trials as TR08684 during 2008 and 2009. It was registered for production in western Canada because of its good combination of yield, agronomic performance, grain quality traits, and disease resistance. Gadsby is resistant to scald [caused by Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem.) J.J. Davis] and the surfaceborne and loose smuts (caused by Ustilago spp.) and is moderately resistant to the spot form of net blotch (caused by Drechslera teres f. maculata Smedeg). Gadsby has shown resistance to scald similar to that of the two‐rowed cultivar ‘Seebe’, which has proven to have durable resistance in Alberta, Canada.
Interest has been growing in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars that meet the specialized needs of a diverse marketplace while still providing producers with robust, high‐yielding types. In response to this challenge, the Alberta Barley Commission worked closely with Sanwa Shurui Co., Ltd. and the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC) to develop selection criteria in barley for shochu production. Shochu is a popular alcoholic beverage in Japan. As part of the project, ‘Canmore’ (Reg. No. CV‐366, PI 685640; Canadian Food Inspection Agency Reg. No. 7392; Canadian PBR Appl. No. 5237), a two‐rowed, hulled, spring barley for food and general purpose uses, was developed. Canmore was derived using single seed descent from one F2 seed to a F5 headrow. It was tested as J02039005 in FCDC trials from 2004 to 2012 and as TR10694 in Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley trials in 2010 and 2011. It was registered in Canada as Canmore. Canmore has excellent pearling properties, starch content, and alcohol yield for shochu production. It is resistant to surface‐borne and loose smuts, moderately resistant to scald and spot form of net blotch, and intermediately resistant to common root rot, spot blotch, and Fusarium head blight. Canmore has good potential in the food barley market for shochu as well as good yield, disease resistance, and agronomic traits for general production in the northern Great Plains.
