PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN 
VARIETIES
IN ALABAMA, 1995
K.M. Glass, C.D. Monks and D.I. Bransby'
INTRODUCTION
Soybean variety tests are conducted annually 
by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment
Station. The 7 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 Prattville
Southern Brewton, 
Monroeville
Black Belt Marion 
Junction (2 soils)
Gulf Coast Fairhope
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 early date testwas
arranged in an incomplete lattice square design 
with four replications.
Data were collected on seed yield, moisture, 
lodging, shattering, plant height, and

and Professor of Agronomy and Soils.

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 45') 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 p ercent 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 1993 and 1994 was such that planting dates for the
standard tests in northern Alabama and Marion Junction and Prattville in central Alabama were
delayed. In 1995, all standard tests were planted at normal planting dates. The normal planting
dates for full season plantings in the regular tests are the first week in May, May 15-25, and May

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 1995 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.
