NDSU Releases New Oat
FARGO - Jun 4/05 - SNS -- Researchers at North Dakota State University (NDSU) have released a new, yellow seeded oat variety called Maida.
Al Schneiter, NDSU Department of Plant Sciences chair, said the variety is a cross between the experimental line ND873126 and AC Assiniboia. Mike McMullen, NDSU oat breeding program leader, made the cross in the university greenhouse in fall 1997.
The most positive aspect of Maida is that it has resistance to the new race of stem rust. Stem rust is a disease that has occurred sporadically, but can be devastating to yields.
Maida is expected to replace Assiniboia, which is similar in yield and quality to Maida, but has no stem rust resistance. One of the areas where stem rust most often occurs is in northeastern North Dakota.
