Trial Report Summary

Agriculture Agri-Food Canada Corn Variety Evaluation

Crop Type(s):
Corn
Centre(s):
PCDF
Year(s):
2020
Collaborators(s):

Lana Reid PhD – AAFC Research Scientist Ottawa Research and Development Centre
Manitoba Corn Growers Association

Objective(s):

To develop and release early maturing cold tolerant corn inbreds with emphasis on
the 1800-2000 CHU market.

Project Findings:

The objective will be achieved using conventional corn breeding methodology enhanced by double
haploid inbred production and specialized screening techniques for cold tolerance and disease
resistance. The trial is being conducted at sites across five Canadian provinces. The anticipated impact
of developing earlier maturing, cold tolerant corn will expand the acreage of corn production in Canada.
This project is part of a long-term, multi-site study led by Lana Reid. Lana Reid and team will make
research findings available at the conclusion of the project.
