THE 1983 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES
W. C. Johnson and Darrell Williams
INTRODUCTION
The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, and triticale makes it difficult for growers to
select a superior variety suited for their particular area of the state.
Making this decision requires up-to-date, unbiased, reliable informa-
tion. This report is published annually to provide Alabama growers with
this information.
This report is complied from tests conducted at 12 locations in
order to represent the varied growing conditions farmers have around the
state.
Procedure
The experimental design for the tests was a split plot design with
species as the main plot and varietis.; as s ubplcs. 7- . c :i:t of
three rows 16 feet long spaced 12 inches apart. Each variety was
replicated three times in each test.
The trials were divided into three management systems: grain only,
forage plus grain, and forage only.
Grain only: This test was planted approximately one month later
than the forage tests. The test was fertilized with P and K according
to soil test and received 20 pounds N per acre at planting with a top-
dressing of 60 pounds N per acre in late February or early March, just
Professor and Technical Assistant, Department of Agronomy and
Soils.
prior to jointing. The plots were not sprayed to control disease, in
order.to rate them for their inherent resistance. The grain was allowed
to mature and was harvested with a plot combine. The grain was cleaned,
weighed , moisture determined, and bushel test weight measured.
Forage plus grain: 
This test is clipped 
to simulate fall 
and
winter grating of small grains, followed by removal of cattle to allow
the crop to joint and produce grain. The test was planted around
October 1, and fertilized at planting: with 100 pounds N per acre. The
plots were clipped each time they reached 6 inches in height with a
flail-type mower, and a sample was weighed green from each plot. The
samples were then dried and weighed. The percent dry matter figure was
used to calculate dry forage matter per acre. Clipping was stopped 
in
late February
- 
or early March, and the test was topdressed with 60 pounds
N per acre and allowed to j-int and prcduca grain
Foirage Only: The forage only tests were planted around Oct. 1st
and fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre and clipped 
in the
same manner as the forage plus grain test. The test was topdressed in
February with 60 pounds N 
per acre and continued to be 
clipped until no
regrowth occurred in the spring.
Data Explanation
Grain yields were calculated by weighing air-dried grain and using
60 pounds per bushel for wheat, 32 pounds per bushel for oats, and 48
pounds per bushel for barley. All bushel test weights for wheat were
adjusted to 13.5 percent moisture.
Lodging is measured as percent of the stand broken or leaning that
would likely be missed by a combine. The height was measured from the
ground to top of the grain 
head.
The 1/10 headed date is the date when approximately 10 percent of
the plot showed fully emerged heads.
Disease ratings for wheat, oats, and barley are given on Tables
16-,20. Dr. Robert T. Gudauskas, Department of Botany, Plant Pathology,
and Microbiology compiled these disease ratings from each test location.
The ratings were taken when most varieties were in the soft dough stage
of maturity.
Discussion
Growing conditions and varietal performance often vary among
locations and years. Regional averages and multiple-year averages are
given here to use as a better indicator for performance comparison.
Variety recommendations are made for general regions of the State and
are based on performance at 
several locations in each region. 
Recommen-
dations are made on the basis of at least 3' years data.
