Registration of 'Strongfield' Durum Wheat

Unreplicated F^sub 3:5^ and F^sub 5:7^ yield trials were grown near Swift Current and Regina, Saskatchewan and Lethbridge, Alberta in 1997 and 1998 and selected for agronomic performance, disease resistance, and quality (protein, pigment, and gluten strength). Average grain protein concentration of Strongfield (171 g kg^sup -1^, dry matter basis) was similar to AC Avonlea (168 g kg^sup -1^), and greater than Kyle (164 g kg^sup -1^), AC Navigator (155 g kg^sup -1^), and AC Morse (157 g kg^sup -1^) in 3 yr in the Durum Cooperative Test.
