DIRECTOR SEPTEMBER 1974 DEPARTMENTAL SERIES NO. 19 AUBURN UNIVERSITY AUBURN, ALABAMA (;' .~-r L n ~CIECI~ a" ~JCPEIDL_,,?bl 91 1974 SMALL GRAIN VARIETY REPORT David H. Teemii Oat, wheat, barley, and rye varieties were tested during the 1973-74 season by the Auburn University Agricultural Experiment Station at 13 locations in the State. Tests were conducted to furnish information on the relative performance of varieties and not as an absolute measure of the yielding potential of a variety in an area of the State. The low grain yields this season were primarily due to the combination of a mild winter and diseases, This is the third consecutive season that yields of small grain have been low in the tests. Although several diseases were damaging, the most severe were leaf rust and stem rust of wheat, crown rust of oats, and Sptoria glume blotch of wheat. Septoria glume blotch continues to be the most consistently damaging disease on wheat in Alabama. Hessian fly was observed in several tests but was not as damaging as during the 1972-73 season. Since small grains are grown for both forage and grain production, two series of plots are used in the testing program. One series is managed to determine grain production only. The other series is managed to determine fall and early winter forage yield and the effect of its removal on subse- quent grain production of each variety. Plots managed for forage and grain production were planted in late-September or early-October. Plots managed for grain production only were planted in late-October or early-November. Tests for total forage production were conducted at Prattville and Tallassee. These plots receive more nitrogen since they are clipped for forage until there is no regrowth in the spring. Fertility data are listed for these tests in tables 4 and 5. The experimental design was a split plot with species as main-plots and varieties as sub-plots. Plots were three rows wide, either 18 or 20 feet long, and replicated three times. Recommended cultural practices were followed and were the same for all entries within a management series at a location. Table 1 shows the amount of feed produced by several varieties under the two systems of management. Average values for yield, date 1/10 headed, height, and lodging by regions for the unclipped tests are given in Table 2. Similar data for the clipped tests are presented in Table 3. Yields of tests managed for forage production only are presented in tables 4 and 5. Varietal reactions to diseases are presented in Table 6. Sources of seed used in the tests are listed on the last two pages. Variety recommendations are made for two situations: (1) grain produc- tion only, and (2) forage and grain production combined. Variety recommenda- tions in this report are for general regions of the State. They are based on performance at several locations in each region. Recommendations are made on the basis of the last 3 years' data, however 0 results over a longer period of time are considered when available. Varieties which have a good record for 2 years are recommended on a trial basis. /Research Associate, Department of Agronomy and Soils Evaluations of disease resistance were made on entries in the 1973-74 tests. Several diseases occur in small grains, but only those that are most common and damaging in Alabama are included here. Except where noted, these reactions are averages obtained over a period of 2 to 5 years from various locations in the State. A rating of Rn or resistant, means that the variety has thus far appeared unaffected or only slightly so by the particular disease. A rating of S means that the variety is susceptible to the extent that appre- ciable damage has occurred when conditions were favorable for disease occur- rence and development. Disease data were compiled by Dr. Robert T. Gudauskas, Department of Botany and Microbiology. SMALL GRAINS FOR FORAGE Clipping tests were conducted to determine (1) fall and winter forage production of small grains, and (2) the effect of clipping during this period on grain yields. Data from other experiments show that fall appli- cation of nitrogen is necessary for high forage yields but usually does not increase grain yields. Therefore, the clipped plots received a fall application of nitrogen at planting or shortly thereafter, which the unelipped plots did not receive. These plots were clipped at intervals until late February or March 1 to simulate grazing, after which both clipped and unclipped plots were topdressed with a uniform application of nitrogen. When fed to cattle, each pound of dry forage (consumed as pasturage) may be considered worth approximately 1 pound of grain. By converting the bushels of grain produced to pounds and addinr it to the pounds of dry forage produced from clipped tests, it is evident that the greatest amount of feed was obtained from small grain that was clipped and then allowed to make grain, Table 1.
