This image captures the careful selection of F5 headrows in a wheat breeding trial. By evaluating genetic lines at this stage, researchers can identify promising candidates for new soft red winter wheat varieties. These varieties are tailored to meet the needs of Ontario farmers, focusing on traits like yield, disease resistance, and milling quality, ultimately enhancing the resilience and productivity of local agriculture.
