* Varieties are ordered by descending yield. The number in parentheses below column headings indicates the number or locations on which data are based. A plus or minus sign indicates a performance significantly above or below the the test average, respectively.
** The 0-9 ratings indicate relative disease intensity where 0=none and 9=total plant infection.
*** Blotch was caused by Stagonospora nodorum.
**** These are wheat/rye crosses or triticales, not wheat varieties.
Note: There was no lodging at any test location in 1997.
