Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Blackpoint is found in barley, triticale and wheat, although there is no separate tolerance defined for blackpoint in barley. Kernels are susceptible during periods of rainfall or humidity above 90%-particularly during filling or maturation. Blackpoint does not usually reduce yields, but it can reduce grade and quality. Blackpoint is especially troublesome on durum wheat because black specks can appear in the semolina. 1, record 1, English, - blackpoint

La moucheture atteint l'orge, le triticale et le blé, mais on n'a fixé aucune tolérance distincte concernant l'orge mouchetée. Les grains y sont vulnérables pendant les périodes prolongées de pluie ou d'humidité supérieure à 90 %, notamment aux stades de remplissage et de croissance. La moucheture ne nuit pas normalement aux rendements, mais elle peut atteindre la qualité et constituer un facteur de déclassement. Les dégâts chez le blé dur peuvent être importants puisque les piqûres noires peuvent paraître dans la semoule et la rendre impropre à d'autres transformations. 1, record 1, French, - moucheture

Grades and specifications predict end-use quality. They are used to visually grade grain. New grades and specifications are set to meet market needs or to better reflect the effects of environment on quality. Before they are set, GRL [Grain Research Laboratory] research scientists investigate how grain will perform within proposed tolerance ranges. In this way, grades and specifications are precise, accurate and reliable. 2, record 4, English, - grades%20and%20specifications

Lorsque des grades de grain et des caractéristiques techniques doivent être établis ou modifiés, les chercheurs du LRG prennent part au processus. En effet, les grades et les caractéristiques donnent des indications sur les propriétés à l'utilisation finale. On s'en sert notamment pour classer le grain selon la méthode visuelle. De nouveaux grades et de nouvelles caractéristiques sont établis en fonction des attentes du marché ou afin de mieux tenir compte des effets de l'environnement sur la qualité. Les chercheurs du LRG vérifient au préalable comment le grain se comportera selon les tolérances proposées. Cette façon de procéder permet d'assurer que les grades et les caractéristiques sont précis, exacts et fiables. 2, record 4, French, - grades%20et%20caract%C3%A9ristiques
