Bransby I 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 characteris- tics. 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 11 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 two management systems: grain only 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. Planting dates for 1990 and 1991 tests were at normal times. Planting dates for all tests in 1992 are shown in table 1. Tests in Southern Alabama were IResearch Assistant and Professor of Agronomy and Soils. -5- 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. Forage only: The tests in 1990, 1991, and 1992 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 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. -6- The 1/10 headed date is the date when approximately 10 percent of a plot showed fully emerged heads. Disease ratings for the 1992-93 growing season are given in tables 17 through 26, and are summarized by region. 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, with few exceptions, disease incidence and severity were higher at all locations than in 1992. However, differences in disease reactions usually were apparent among varieties at all locations as well. On wheat, leaf rust, Septoria blotch, and barley yellow dwarf occurred at moderate to severe levels in most tests. Particularly notable was the prevalence of barley yellow dwarf, a virus disease, throughout the state. Soilborne wheat mosaic, another virus disease, was found on some entries in most of the tests in central and southern Alabama. This disease is caused by a virus that in turn is spread by a root-inhabiting fungus. In addition to the regular variety trials on substations and experiment fields, two tests were conducted in Autauga and Madison counties in farmers' fields known to be infested with the soilborne wheat mosaic virus. Results of these tests are given in table 22. Powdery mildew was unusually light on wheat entries at most locations. On oats, commonly occurring diseases were barley yellow dwarf, leafspot, and Septoria blotch. Leaf rust was severe on oats only in tests at the Gulf Coast and Wiregrass substations in 1993. Incidence of leaf rust on triticales also was generally low, except at the Gulf Coast Substation where some varieties were heavily rusted. Levels of Septoria blotch were moderate to severe on triticale entries at most locations. On barley, typically occurring diseases developed in most tests but usually only at low incidence levels. , -7- 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 1990-91 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. 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 the 1990-91 seasons. There appeared to be sufficient low temperature in 1991-92 for vernalization of all entries when planted in late October. In the 1992-93 growing season, the snow and freezing temperatures in mid-March caused injury to the early maturing varieties. The late maturing varieties vernalized and produced well. Some lodging occurred due to the heavy snowfall. Also, bird damage was moderate in oats and wheat at most locations and severe on oats at Fairhope. -8- Table 1.

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. -49- SOURCES OF SEED WHEAT Univ. of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri Bayles, GA-Andy GA-Gore, GA-1i00 Univ. of Georgia, Georgia Station, Griffin, Georgia Coker (all varieties, brands, and hybrids) DS 2368 FFR 525W Florida 302, Florida 304 Massey, Madison, Wakefield Pioneer (all varieties, brands, and hybrids) Saluda Northrup King Co., Grifton, North Carolina Delhi Seed Company Delhi, Louisiana Alabama Farmer's Coop., Inc.
