Brasetto is one of the first two hybrid winter (fall) rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivars to be registered for production in Canada. In registration trials, its grain yield was 42% higher than the mean of the check entries and 23% higher than the highest yielding reference cultivar, Hazlet. It has a very high falling number, which is of special interest in the food market. Except for lower grain protein content and a slightly higher ergot [Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul.] level, the rest of its measured agronomic and quality characters have been better than or within the range of the Fall Rye Co-operative Registration Trial check cultivars in Canada. Its expected end use will be primarily for food and feed grain.
