Registration of ‘Busby’ Barley

Abstract

‘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.

“…§ Data from 2010 to 2012 from tests run at Lacombe, AB. ¶ 'Bentley' (Juskiw et al, 2009a), 'Busby' (Juskiw et al, 2009b), 'CDC Austenson' (CFIA, 2017b), 'CDC Coalition' (CFIA, 2017c), 'CDC Cowboy' (CFIA, 2017e), 'CDC Meredith' (CFIA 2017f), 'Champion' (CFIA, 2017h), 'Gadsby' (Juskiw et al, 2011), 'Major' (Legge et al, 2013), 'Merit 57' (CFIA, 2017i), 'Newdale' (Legge et al, 2008), 'Norman' (Legge et al (2011). 2017 g). Canmore also had low protein, but this was signiicant only with Xena.…”

Registration of ‘Gadsby’ Barley

“…In the multisite tests run by FCDC, Gadsby was selected based on its multiyear resistance to scald, which was similar to that of its grandparent Seebe and better than that of its scald‐susceptible grandparent Harrington (Table 1). In the 2 yr of FCDC yield trials for cultivar comparison, Gadsby showed a yield advantage of 12% over Seebe but had similar yield to ‘Busby’ (Juskiw et al, 2009b) and Xena (CFIA, 2010). Gadsby reached anthesis at the same time as Seebe, approximately 4 d later than Busby and 3 d later than Xena.…”
