Abstract

Boudrias is a high yielding hulless oat (Avena sativa L.) with strong straw and good lodging resistance. It has a higher test weight, a higher percentage of plump groats and a lower percentage of thin groats than AC Belmont, currently the most popular hulless oat cultivar in western Canada. Boudrias has also demonstrated superior crown rust and barley yellow dwarf virus resistance than AC Belmont. In tests across western Canada, it has yielded 20% more grain than AC Belmont while maturing about a day later. Boudrias is well adapted to all regions of western Canada.
