AAC Bloomfield barley

Abstract

AAC Bloomfield is a six-row spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar with high yield, high test weight, high seed weight, and good lodging resistance. It performed well in the Maritime Six-Row Barley Registration and Recommendation Test (2013–2016) before being registered in 2017. AAC Bloomfield was developed by the Ottawa Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, ON. AAC Bloomfield is recommended for barley growing areas in the Maritime provinces.

Optimum seeding rates for hulless barley production in eastern Canada

“…Six barley varieties were selected for this study and included three hulless varieties, AAC Azimuth (six rows), AAC Starbuck (two rows), CDC Ascent (two rows), and three covered varieties, AAC Bloomfield (six rows), AAC Ling (two rows), and CH2720-1 (two rows). AAC Azimuth, AAC Starbuck, AAC Bloomfield (Khanal et al 2018), AAC Ling (Khanal et al 2019), and CH2720-1 were developed by the Ottawa Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The advanced breeding lines CH2720-1 and AAC Ling are sister lines from the Leader/Pasadena cross.…”
