Bransby 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. 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 10 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. 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 all tests in 1995 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 top dressing 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: These tests are normally planted 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. -4- The 1/10 headed date is the date when approximately 10 percent of a plot showed fully emerged heads. Disease ratings for all 1995-96 variety trials are summarized by region in tables 16 through 23. Katherine Burch, Research Assistant, Plant Pathology, made disease ratings at all locations. At the time of mid-season ratings, disease incidence and severity were generally lower at all locations than in 1995. On wheat, incidence of leaf rust and powdery mildew was very low in the southern and central regions and was not found at the northern locations. Levels of Septoria leaf blotch were slightly higher in most locations of the state. Two viral diseases, barley yellow dwarf and soilborne wheat mosaic, were found throughout the state. While levels of barley yellow dwarf at mid-season were slightly higher than at most locations in 1995, by the end of the season, most plots at the northern locations reached 90-100% infection. Due to the late onset of the virus, yields were not significantly affected. On oats, Helminthosporium leaf spot and Septoria blotch occurred throughout the state. Crown rust was not detected. Barley yellow dwarf was prevalent in the northern and central locations with a very low incidence at the southern locations. On triticale, low levels of leaf rust and Septoria blotch were seen on entries at most locations. On barley, low levels of stripe, net blotch, spot blotch, barley yellow dwarf and Septoria blotch developed in most tests. 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. In the 1993-94 growing season, weather conditions were favorable and production was generally good throughout the state. Bird damage was moderate in oats at -5- most southern locations. In the 1994-95 growing season, a mild winter may have affected vernalization in some varieties. Bird damage was moderate to severe in oats at most central and southern locations. The 1995-96 growing season was much colder than normal which severely reduced yields on some varieties at all locations. Oat varieties were especially affected and several varieties were winter killed. -6- Table 1.
