Fifty Years Of Canadian Oat Breeding Program
Canada has pursued a plant breeding initiative for five decades starting with wheat and expanding to oats. The oats sector, second in field crop value, faces disease challenges while breeders work on early high yielding disease resistant varieties suited to diverse Canadian regions. The Dominion Department of Agriculture with the Experimental Farms System and Winnipeg Rust Laboratory maintains a 500-variety oats collection from global sources to identify adaptable traits and improve quality and yield.
