PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN VARIETIES IN ALABAMA, 1987
D. L. Thurlow and W. C. Johnson
INTRODUCTION
Soybean variety tests are conducted 
annually by the Alabama
Agricultural Experiment Station. The 10 locations used represent the
major soil and climatic regions of Alabama. 
These locations are divided
into logical soybean growing regions. The regions 
and locations are:
Region Location
Northern Belle Mina, Crossville
Central Camden, Prattville
Southern Brewton, Headland, Monroeville
Black Belt Marion Junction (2 soils)
Bal dwi n-Mobi le Fairhope
A standard test is grown at each location. 
In addition, a late
date of planting test is grown in each region, an early date of planting
test is grown at Brewton, and preliminary tests are grown in the
northern, central, and southern regions. The preliminary test contains
advanced experimental lines and released varieties which are new to that
particular region. These varieties will be placed in the standard test
if their performance warrants.
Respectively, Associate Professor and Professor of Agronomy and
Soils.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The standard tests were designed as a randomized complete block
with four replications. Plot size was four 30- to 36-inch rows 20 feet
long. Sixteen feet of the middle two rows were harvested for yield.
Seeding rate was 60 pounds per acre (10 viable seeds per foot of row).
The preliminary tests were planted 
in a randomized complete block 
design
with three replications. The early and late planting date tests were
arranged in incomplete lattice square designs, with nine entries per
maturity group and four replications.
Two planting dates were used for the standard tests at Crossville,
Prattville, Brewton, Marion Junction (Vaiden soil), and Fairhope. An
entry must perform well in the early standard test before it is entered
in the late date test. Results are reported by planting date in the
tables, with date 1 being the standard full season planting and date 2
the later planting at all locations except at Brewton where date 2 is
the standard test and date 3 is the later planting test. The Brewton
early planting test in 1987 was not planted because of lack of moisture
during late April and early May.
Data were collected 
on seed yield, moisture, 
lodging, shattering,
plant height, and maturity date. Plot yields were adjusted to 13
percent moisture and converted to bushels (60 pounds) per acre. Lodging
was scored on a scale of I to 5 as follows:
1 - almost all plants erect.
2 - either all plants leaning slightly (less than 450) or a few
plants down.
3 - either all plants leaning moderately (approximately 450) or 25
to 50 percent of the plants down.
-2-
4 - either all plants leaning more than 450 or 50 to 80 percent
of the plants down.
5 - more than 80 percent of the plants down.
Shattering was rated on a scale of I to 5 based on performance of
the border row 14 days after maturity. 
A rating of 1 indicates no
shattering and a rating of 5 is 20 percent or more shattering. 
Plant
height was determined by measuring from the ground to the top of the
plant at maturity. Maturity date was the day 95 percent of the pods
were their mature pod color. Harvest was approximately 7 to 10 days
later.
Severe stunting and chlorosis were observed in the varieties
planted on the alkaline Sumter soil at the Black Belt Substation. 
A
chlorosis rating was made 
in early August in 1986 
and 1987 with rating
of 1 to 10, where 1 was no noticeable change in green color from a
normal soybean plant and 10 was plants losing leaves due 
to necrotic
spots in leaves. The yields from areas that showed iron chlorosis are
recorded for 1987 and also the 2-year averages, table 
17.
SEASONAL CONDITIONS
Lack of rainfall in April resulted in a 2-week delay 
in planting in
north Alabama and not planting the early test in Brewton. Poor stands
were also the reason for no test at Monroeville Field. 
The lack of and
poor distribution of 
rainfall from mid-July 
through early September
resulted in very poor and inconsistent soybean yields in central and
north Alabama. Rainfall amounts near Brewton and 
Fairhope were better
in July and August, table 3, resulting in some respectable 
yields at
these locations. In spite of the shortage of rainfall 
at Marion
Junction, very good yields were obtained on the 
acid prairie soil.
-3-
COMPARING VARIETIES
To aid in determining real yield differences, a statistical
analysis of variance is performed on the data from each location. The
L.S.D. (least significant difference) and C.V. (coefficient of
variation) are given for each location's 1987 test, and the location's
or region's 2- and 3-year averages. The difference in yield of two
varieties must exceed the L.S.D. value for one variety to be considered
superior to the others in yield in that particular test. The C.V. is a
measure of the variability in an experiment. An increase in its value
indicates an increase in the unexplained variability.
Since the performance of varieties varies with location and year,
long-term averages from several locations are more reliable than 1-year
performance. Three-year regional averages are considered a reliable
evaluation of the relative performance of varieties.
A committee comprised of Department of Agronomy and Soils personnel
involved in soybean extension and research work reviewed the past 3
years of soybean variety test data to assemble the list of acceptable
varieties on page 39. The recommended varieties are not all equal in
performance. Some are outstanding in one or more characteristics; while
others may not be obviously outstanding, they might possess a
satisfactory combination of all characteristics.
