PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN VARIETIES IN ALABAMA, 1997 K.M. GLAss, C.D. MoNKs, AND D.I. BRANSBY INTRODUCTION Soybean variety tests are conducted annually by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. The eight 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 Prattville, Shorter Southern Brewton, Monroeville Black Belt Marion Junction (two soils) Gulf Coast Fairhope 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 10 viable seeds per foot of row. The early date test was arranged in an incomplete lattice square design with four replications. 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. 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 four to eight percent shattering, and a rating of five 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 reached mature pod color. Harvest was approximately seven to 10 days later. SEASONAL CONDITIONS In 1995, all standard tests were planted at normal planting dates. In 1996, rainfall delayed all planting dates but yields were good for all tests. Rainfall for 1997 is shown in Table 3. In 1997, all standard tests were planted later than normal. 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 northern, central, and southern Alabama locations, respectively. 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 1997 test, and for the location's or region's two- and three-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 one-year performance. Three-year regional averages are considered a reliable evaluation of the relative performance of varieties.
