PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN VARIETIES IN ALABAMA, 1991

1
INTRODUCTION
Soybean variety tests are conducted annually 
by the Alabama
Agricultural Experiment Station. The 10 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 Camden, Prattville
Southern Brewton, Headland, 
Monroeville
Black Belt Marion Junction 
(2 soils)
Baldwin-Mobile Fairhope
A standard test is grown at each location. 
In addition, a
late date-of-planting test is grown in each 
region, an early
date-of planting test is grown at Brewton, 
and preliminary tests
are grown in the northern, central, and 
southern regions. The
preliminary tests contain advanced experimental 
lines and
released varieties which are new to that particular 
region. If
performance warrants, these varieties will 
be placed in the
standard test in subsequent years.
Soybean row spacing research in the Southeast has not 
shown
much advantage for narrow row spacing over the conventional 
row
width of 36 to 40 inches for standard planting dates. 
Two row
'Respectively, Associate Professor, Professor, and
Technician of Agronomy and Soils.
-1-m
spacing tests were conducted at two locations, E.V. Smith
Research Center, Shorter and Tennessee Valley Substation, Belle
Mina, using 18 cultivars. The purpose was to evaluate the effect
of row width on soybean yields when planted later than standard
planting for full season production. The four row spacings used
were 9, 18, 27, and 36 inches.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The standard tests were designed as a randomized complete
block with four replications. Plot size was four 24- 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 preliminary tests were planted in a randomized
complete block design with three replications. The 
early and
late planting date tests were arranged in incomplete lattice
square designs, with 16 and 9 entries per maturity group and 
four
replications, respectively.
Two planting dates were used for the tests at Crossville,
Prattville, Brewton, Marion Junction (Vaiden Soil), and Fairhope.
An entry must perform well in the early standard test before it
is entered in the late date test. Results are reported by
planting date in the tables, with date 1 being the standard full
season planting and date 2 the later planting at all locations.
Six cultivars from each of three Maturity Groups were used
to study the effect of row spacing on late planted soybeans.
Maturity Groups V, VI and VII cultivars were used at Belle Mina,
and Maturity Groups VI, VII, and VIII cultivars were used at
-2-
Shorter. A split-split plot design .with four replications was
used at each location. The main plot was row spacing with the
sub-plot being Maturity Group and sub-sub-plot being cultivar.
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 4 to 8
percent shattering, and a rating of 5 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 7 to 10 days later.
SEASONAL CONDITIONS
Rainfall (table 3) in April and May 1991 was such that all
standard tests were planted for optimum growth. The late
-3-
planting tests at Marion Junction and Fairhope were delayed
approximately 2 weeks due to heavy rainfall in June and July at
both locations. 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. The rainfall for 1991 was above
normal in May at all locations and was generally adequate for
vegetative growth through July in central and southern Alabama.
However, rainfall was limiting during July, August, and early
September in northern Alabama resulting in lower yields 
on early
varieties and early planting dates. Rains in mid-September
helped the Maturity Group VII varieties.
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 1991 test, and for
the location's or region's 2- and 3-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 1-year performance. Three-year regional averages are

considered a reliable evaluation of the 
relative performance of
varieties.
A committee comprised of Department of Agronomy and 
Soils
personnel involved in soybean extension and research reviewed 
the
past 3 years of soybean variety test data to assemble the list of
recommended varieties on page 44. The acceptable varieties are
not all equal in performance. Some are outstanding in one or
more characteristics; while others may possess a satisfactory,
although not outstanding combination of all characteristics.
