Rust Resistant Wheat Developed After Decade of Work
Scientists report rust resistant wheat nearly ready for farmers in western Canada after ten years of lab and field research. The variety, developed from Reward and Marquis lines, with high milling and baking qualities, is undergoing final tests in Winnipeg and will be distributed to registered farmers next year. Oat rust work also advances with Anthony oats showing stem rust resistance though crown rust remains a challenge.
