PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN VARIETIES IN AIABAMA, 1990

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:
egion Location
Northern Belle Mina, Crossville
Central Camden, Prattville
Southern Brewton, Headland, Monroeville
Black Belt Marion Junction (2 soils)
Baldwin-Mobile 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.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEEURES
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 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
16 and 9 entries per maturity group and four replications, respectively.
Two planting dates were used for the 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.
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 1 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.
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.
-2-
Shattering was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 based on performance of the
border row 14 days after maturity. A rating of 1 indicates no shattering, a
rating of 3 indicates a 4 to 8 percent 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.
SEASONAL CONDITIONS
Rainfall (table 3) in April and May 1990 was such that all standard tests
were planted for optimum growth. The late planting tests at Crossville and
Fairhope were delayed approximately 3 weeks due to heavy rainfall in June and
July at both locations. The normal planting dates for full season plantings
in the regular tests are the first week in May, May 15-25, and May 25 to June
5 for north, central, and southern Alabama locations, respectively. The
rainfall in 1990 was above normal in May at all locations and was generally
adequate for vegetative growth through July. However, the central area of
Alabama (Prattville, Camden, and Marion Junction) had less than 2 inches in
June and less than normal in July. This set up a situation of severe drought
for pod development and fill when rainfall was well below normal for August,
September and October. Rainfall at Monroeville and Headland was similar to
that in central Alabama; there was adequate but not excessive rainfall early
in the season but little rainfall for pod fill, 1.9 inches in August-September
at Headland. Brewton and Fairhope had good rainfall in August, resulting in
fair soybean yields for the Group V & VI maturity varieties, but lower yields
for the full season and later maturing entries.
-3-
Rainfall in north Alabama had some extended periods of short-rainfall but
in general yields were much better than in other areas of the State.
The test at Headland was not harvested due to the extremely dry conditions
in late July, August, and September.
OMPARING 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 1990 test, and for 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 reviewed the past 3 years of
soybean variety test data to assemble the list of recommended varieties on
page 40. The acceptable 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.
