THE 1994 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF
SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES FOR FORAGE
K.M. Glass and D.I. Bransby
INTRODUCTION
The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat, oats, rye, barley, and
triticale makes it difficult for growers to select varieties most suited for forage production in
their particular area of the State. Many of the small grain species and varieties differ in their
capability to produce early fall and winter forage for livestock production. Making the proper
selection requires up-to-date, unbiased, reliable information and varietal forage yield by
season.
Entries in each experiment are determined by the companies or institutes which
control each variety, or line, not by experiment station personnel. Data from tests conducted
at 11 locations were used to compile this report. These locations represent the varied growing
conditions around the State for the past 3 years.
PROCEDURE
The experimental design for the tests was a split plot design with species as the main
plot and varieties as subplots. Plots were 5 feet by 20 feet with rows spaced 7 inches apart.
A cone drill was used to plant all tests. Each variety was replicated three times in each test.
The tests are normally planted in late September to early October. All test locations
were planted at normal times of late September and early October 1991 and 1992. In 1993,
'Research Assistant and Professor of Agronomy and Soils.

all tests were planted in October. The tests were fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per
acre and clipped with a flail-type mower each time they reached 6 inches in height. A sample
was weighed green from each plot, then dried and reweighed. The percent dry matter figure
from these weights was used to calculate forage dry matter per acre. The tests were
topdressed in February with 60 pounds N per acre and clipping was continued until no
regrowth occurred in the spring.
DATA EXPLANATION
Dry matter forage is recorded for seasonal and total yields by locations. The four
seasonal periods are: autumn-forage produced through December; winter-January and
February production; early spring-March and early April production; and late spring-
production after April 20.
DISCUSSION
Growing conditions and variety forage performance often vary among locations and
years. Multiple-year averages are given here to use as a better indicator for performance
comparison. In the 1991-92 and 1992-93 growing season, there was little damage to any of
the small grain species. A very dry April and early May resulted in little or no late spring
growth for both growing seasons. In the 1993-94 growing season, a dry fall resulted in little
or no fall and winter growth.
