Supt. -5- THE 1992 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES D.L. Thurlow, W.C. Johnson, and K.M. Glass 1 INTRODUCTION The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat, oat, 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 rainfall with average dates being October 30, November 29, and December 11 for northern, central and southern tests, respectively. Planting dates for 1990 tests were at normal times. Planting dates for all tests in 1991 are shown in table 1. Tests in Southern Alabama were split into regular and late planting dates because small grains with very low vernalization requirements should be planted after November 25. 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 test was located at Camden only. This test was grazed periodically during fall and winter, followed by the removal of cattle in February or early March to allow the crop to joint and produce grain. The test was planted November 4, and fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre. The plots were grazed closely beginning when 6-8 inches of forage were available, but no animal or forage data were taken. 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 onl y: The tests in 1989, 1990, and 1991 were all planted at normal times in late September to early October. Tests were fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre and clipped with a flail-type mower each time they reached 6 inches in height. A sample was weighed green from -8- 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 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 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 the 1991-92 growing season are given in tables 17 through 25. Dr. Robert T. Gudauskas, Professor 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 disease incidence and severity again were generally light in the variety tests, with some notable exceptions. Leaf rust was very severe on most wheat entries in tests at the Gulf Coast Substation and Monroeville Experiment Field, and moderate to severe on many entries in the Brewton, Prattville, Wiregrass, and Tennessee Valley tests. Septoria blotch was also very severe on most wheats in the Gulf Coast and Prattville tests, on many in the Tennessee Valley and Upper Coastal Plain tests, and on some in the Black Belt, E.V. Smith, and Wiregrass tests. Incidence of barley yellow dwarf generally was much higher than last year, particularly -9- in the tests in north Alabama. Soilborne wheat mosaic was diagnosed on a few wheats in most tests in central and south Alabama. Powdery mildew developed to significant levels at most locations in south Alabama and in the tests at the Prattville Experiment Field and the Sand Mountain Substation. On oat, disease levels were generally very light at all locations except the Gulf Coast Substation where leaf rust and Septoria blotch were prevalent on most entries. Septoria blotch commonly occurred on triticales but reached apparently damaging levels at only a few locations. Soilborne wheat mosaic was diagnosed for the first time in Alabama in 1989, and to date has been found in 28 counties scattered throughout the State. This disease is caused by a virus that in turn is spread by a root- inhabiting fungus. Incidence of the disease in the variety tests was lower in 1992 than in 1991. Ratings of wheat cultivars for reactions to soilborne wheat mosaic in 1992 are included in this report. 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 1989-90 and 1991-92 seasons were warmer than normal in fall and winter, causing many of the less hardy varieties of wheat and triticale to start heading in February. Early heading resulted in cold damage at central and southern locations in 1991. However, in 1992 no cold damage was observed. -10- Conditions in the 1989-90 season were wetter than normal in late October and through November, resulting in many of the grain only tests being planted in early December. 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 in both 1989-90 and 1990-91 seasons. There appeared to be sufficient low temperature in 1991-92 for vernalization of all entries when planted in late October. -11- Table 1.
