‘Gadsby’ (Reg. No. CV‐347, PI 659700; Canadian Food Inspection Agency Reg. No. 6831; Canadian PBR Appl. No. 10‐6980) is a two‐rowed, hulled, spring, general‐purpose barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) developed at the Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC), Lacombe, AB, Canada. Gadsby was tested in FCDC trials as H96043002 from 2002 to 2007 and in Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley trials as TR08684 during 2008 and 2009. It was registered for production in western Canada because of its good combination of yield, agronomic performance, grain quality traits, and disease resistance. Gadsby is resistant to scald [caused by Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem.) J.J. Davis] and the surfaceborne and loose smuts (caused by Ustilago spp.) and is moderately resistant to the spot form of net blotch (caused by Drechslera teres f. maculata Smedeg). Gadsby has shown resistance to scald similar to that of the two‐rowed cultivar ‘Seebe’, which has proven to have durable resistance in Alberta, Canada.
