Brown, P. D., Randhawa, H. S., Mitchell Fetch, J., Fox, S. L., Humphreys, D. G., Meiklejohn, M., Green, D., Wise, I., Fetch, T., Gilbert, J., McCallum, B. and Menzies, J. 2015. AAC Foray red spring wheat. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 799–803. AAC Foray, an orange wheat blossom midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana Géhin) tolerant hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), combined high grain yield and good agronomic performance with excellent resistance to leaf and stem rust, and improved resistance to Fusarium head blight. AAC Foray had maturity, straw strength, and test weight similar to the check cultivars. AAC Foray is eligible for grade of the Canada Prairie Spring Red wheat market class.
