Abstract

Tibor is a new naked-seeded or hulless oat cultivar (Avena nuda L.) suitable for growing in eastern Canada. Compared with the naked-seeded check cultivar Terra, Tibor is higher in groat yield, seed and hectolitre weight and seed protein content. It has excellent straw strength coupled with tall plant height and early maturity, but shows no improvement over Terra in the percentage of covered seeds (approximately 5%) in threshed grain samples or in resistance to diseases such as barley yellow dwarf virus, septoria or stem rust. Tibor is susceptible to prevalent races of crown rust but the disease is slow to develop in field-scale plantings. Tibor is resistant to loose smut and Victoria blight.Key words: Avena nuda L., cultivar description, oat (hulless)
