THE 1990 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES
Donald L. Thurlow and 
W.C. Johnson
1
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 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.
Data from tests conducted at 12 locations were used to compile
this report and they 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 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.
The trials were divided into three management systems: grain only,
grain following grazing, and forage only.
Grain only: These tests are normally planted during late October
to early November, which is approximately one month later than the
forage tests. However, due to lack of moisture, the Headland,
'Associate Professor and Professor of Agronomy and Soils,
respectively.
-7-
Fairhope, and Camden tests in 1988 
were planted November 22 and 30 
and
December 7, respectively. Planting 
dates for all tests in 1989 
were
delayed because of excess rainfall, 
table 1. All tests were
fertilized with P and K according 
to soil test plus 20 pounds 
N per
acre at planting with a topdressing 
of 60 pounds N per acre 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. 
The grain was cleaned and weighed.
Moisture and bushel test weight 
were measured.
Grain following grazing: The grazing 
tests were located at
Winfield and Camden only. These 
tests were grazed periodically during
fall and winter, followed by removal 
of cattle in February or early
March to allow the crop to joint 
and produce grain. These tests were
planted around October i, and fertilized 
at planting with 100 pounds N
per acre. The plots were grazed 
closely each time 6-8 inches of 
forage
were available, but no animal or forage 
data were taken. The grazing
was stopped in late February or early 
March. The test was then
topdressed with 60 pounds N per acre and 
allowed to joint and produce
grain.
Forage only: The forage-only tests 
were usually planted around
October 1; however, in 1987 only the 
tests at Tallassee and Headland
were planted October 1 and October 9, respectively. 
All other
locations were planted in late October to 
early November 1987 because
of dry conditions. The tests in 1988 
& 1989 were all planted at normal
times in late September to early October. 
The tests were fertilized at
planting with 100 pounds N per acre 
and clipped with a flail-type mower
-8-
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 dry forage matter per
acre. The test was topdressed in February with 60 pounds N per acre
and clipping was continued until no regrowth occurred.
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, 48
pounds per bushel for barley, and 50 pounds per bushel for triticale.
Lodging was measured as percent of the plants in 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
a plot showed fully emerged heads.
Disease ratings are given in tables 16 through 21. Dr. Robert T.
Gudauskas, Department of Plant Pathology, made the disease ratings 
at
each location. Most ratings were taken when the majority of varieties
were in the soft dough stage of maturity. Dr. Gudauskas reported that,
while most of the common diseases were prevalent in most tests, 
the
incidence and severity of diseases were generally a little 
lighter than
last year. Leaf rust was light to severe and Septoria 
blotch was
moderate to severe on wheat entries at most locations. Although
occasional outbreaks of powdery mildew occurred in some tests, 
e.g. at
Crossville and Headland, incidence of this disease was generally very
light. With few exceptions, only trace levels of barley yellow dwarf
were noted in wheat varieties statewide. Incidence of loose smut was
-9-
very low everywhere, and stem rust was not seen in any test this year.
On oats, crown rust was moderate to severe on most entries in the tests
at Fairhope and Headland, as was Helminthosporium leafspot at Camp Hill
and Winfield and barley yellow dwarf at Belle Mina. Otherwise, oat
entries were little affected by disease.
DISCUSSION
Growing conditions and variety 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.
Recommendations are made on the basis of at least 3 years' data.
Weather conditions in the 1988-89 season were warmer than normal in
fall and winter, causing many of the less hardy varieties of wheat
and triticale to start heading in February; this resulted in cold
damage at northern locations. Conditions in the 1989-90 season were
wetter than normal in late October and through November, resulting in
many of the tests for grain only being planted in early December. Cool
and wet conditions in December resulted in slow germination and
development. The warmer than normal January and February did not
produce enough cold units to vernalize many of the wheat varieties in
the central and southern tests. This was the second year in a row that
low yields were the result of insufficient vernalization.

*If present trends continue, this variety will be removed from the
recommended list for grain only next year in the region indicated.
**Conditionally recommended on 2 years' data.
For those who wish to graze small grains before grain harvest,
varietal selection should be from those varieties recommended either
for grain or for forage. Some varieties are recommended for both uses,
but if not, the relative importance of grain or forage to the
individual farmer should be the major consideration for varietal
selection.
-46-
VARIETIES RECOMMENDED FOR FORAGE ONLY
Variety recommendations for the three regions are based on 3-year
regional averages of full-season forage yield in tables 2, 6, and 11.
Varieties are listed in descending order of yield.

*If present trends continue, this variety will be removed from the
recommended list for forage only next year in the region indicated.
**Conditionally recommended on 2 years' data.
For those who wish to harvest grain following grazing, varietal
selection should be from those varieties recommended either for grain
or for forage. Some varieties are recommended for both uses, but if
not, the relative importance of forage or grain to the individual
farmer should be the major consideration for varietal selection.
+Although these varieties produce high total forage yields, early
season forage production may be low.
