Abstract
Furlong is a high-yielding, tan-hulled oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivar postulated to carry the crown rust resistance combination Pc38, Pc39 and Pc68, which is effective against most of the current crown rust races on the Canadian prairies. It has very good resistance to loose and covered smut, good resistance to stem rust (likely due to Pg2 and Pg13) and moderate tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). Furlong has very high kernel weight, high percent plump kernels and low percent thin kernels. According to its grain characteristics, including hull-to-groat ratio, protein content and milling yield, Furlong should be acceptable for milling purposes. Furlong is adapted for the oat-growing areas of western Canada and in particular the Black Soil Zone of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where oat crown rust is prevalent. Key words: Oat, Avena sativa L., cultivar description, milling oat
