INTROduCTION
The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat, oat, barley, and triticale makes it difficult for growers to select varieties most suited for their particular area of the State. Making this decision requires up-to-date, unbiased, reliable information on varietal yields and characteristics. This report is published annually to provide Alabama growers with this information. 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 eight locations were used to compile this report and they represent the varied growing conditions farmers experience around the State.

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 in the State. Each variety was replicated three times in each test. Grain only: These tests are normally planted during late October to early November, which is approximately one month later than the forage tests. Planting dates for all tests in 2009 are shown in Table 1. All tests were fertilized with P and K according to soil test, plus 20 pounds N per acre at planting. A top dressing of 60 pounds N per acre was made in late February or early March, just prior to jointing. The plots were not sprayed to control disease, so that the varieties could be rated for their inherent disease resistance. The grain was allowed to mature and was harvested with a plot combine, then cleaned and weighed. Moisture and bushel test weight were measured. Forage only: A forage test was not conducted during the 2009-2010 crop year.

PROCEduRE

Grain yields were calculated by weighing air-dried grain and using 60 pounds per bushel for wheat, 32 pounds per bushel for oat, 48 pounds per bushel for barley, 50 pounds per bushel for triticale. Lodging was measured as the percent of plants in the stand broken or leaning that would likely be missed by a combine. Height was measured from the ground to the top of the grain head. The 1/10 headed date is the date when approximately 10 percent of a plot showed fully emerged heads. Disease ratings for 2009-2010 variety tests for wheat, triticale and barley are summarized by region in Tables 16 - 21. Katherine B. Burch, Research Associate, Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, rated disease at 3 locations in the southern region, 2 locations in the central region and only at the Sand Mountain Research and Extension Center in the northern region. Onset of leaf rust on wheat was much later than last year. At the time of mid-season ratings on wheat, incidence of leaf rust was much lower across the southern and central regions than last year and was not observed on any of the cultivars in the northern region. Incidence of Septoria leaf blotch was observed at low levels, similar to last year. Low incidence of stripe rust was observed at Wiregrass Research and Extension Center. Neither stem rust nor powdery mildew was observed on any cultivars this year. In the northern region, incidence and severity of Fusarium head blight (scab)

were similar to those observed last year. On triticale, low levels of leaf blotch were detected throughout the state and leaf rust was observed on two varieties at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center. On barley, spot blotch and net blotch developed at low levels. Symptoms of the viral disease barley yellow dwarf were observed in most grain entries throughout the state although incidence was slightly to moderately lower than observed last year.

Growing conditions and variety performance often vary among locations and years. In the 2009-10 growing season, wet conditions along with cooler than normal fall and winter temperatures affected yields at some locations. The disease at Sand Mountain showed late in the season and thus did not affect yields.
