Lake wheat debuts in Canada with drought tolerance and high yields
A new wheat variety named Lake, developed from the Regent Canus cross at Scott Experimental Station, Saskatchewan, was licensed for sale in Canada this spring. Lake outyielded Thatcher in western tests, yielding 20.4 bushels to Thatcher’s 17.5 at Scott from 1947 to 1958, and offers good milling quality. It resists drought and spring frost, matures about a day later, and has a Marquis type head, but lacks resistance to the 15B stem rust race. Foundation seed stocks are allocated to four Elite Saskatchewan growers with registered seed planned for 1953 distribution.
