Five new dry yellow pea cultivars
have been licensed in
Canada recently. 'Tipu' and 'Titan' were developed by Dr. S. T. Ali-Khan, Agriculture Canada, Morden, Manitoba. Tipu is a.semi- leafless backcross derivative of 'Century' and is similar to Cen- tury in other respects. The 1000-seed weight of Titan is slightly higher than for Century and it has a 9% yield advantage over Cen- tury . Two pea cultivars from Svalof have
been licensed also.
'Victoria' was licensed in 1984. The 1000-seed weight of Victoria is intermediate between Century and the small-seeded cultivar 'Trapper' and it has an 8% yield advantage over Century. 'Fortune' was licensed in 1986. It has a 1000-seed weight similar to Victoria -and a 14% yield advantage over Century. Canadian rights to these two Svalof cultivars are shared by United Grain Growers, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Newfield Seeds, Nipawin, Sas- katchewan . The cultivar 'Bellevue' was
developed at the Crop Development
Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, by Dr. A. E. Slinkard. It has a 1000-seed weight similar to Victoria and Fortune with a 15% yield advantage over Century. It is about six days later maturing than Century, but with a shorter vine due to the presence of the l_e_ gene for reduced internode length. Bellevue has a tougher seed coat than other cultivars and this will result in reduced splitting losses during harvesting and pro- cessing . Certified seed of Tipu and
Victoria will be available for
1987 planting, and the others should be available for 1988 plan- ting. NEW CULTIVARS - DRY PEAS
