PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEAN VARIETIES IN ALABAMA 2000 3 Performance of Soybean Varieties in Alabama, 2000 K. M. Glass, C. D. Monks, and D. P. Delaney1 INTRODUCTION Soybean variety tests are conducted annually by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. The eight locations used represent the major soil and climatic regions of Alabama. These locations are divided into logical soybeangrowing regions. The regions and locations are as follows: Northern (Belle Mina and Crossville), Central (Prattville and Shorter), Southern (Brewton), Black Belt (Marion Junction–two soils), and Gulf Coast (Fairhope). EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES The standard tests were designed as a randomized complete block with four replications. Standard plot size was four 30- to 38-inch rows 20 feet long. Fifteen feet of the middle two rows were harvested for yield. Seeding rate was 10 viable seeds per foot of row. The Group IV test was drilled with seven 7-inch rows. Seeding rate was five viable seeds per foot of row. The early planted test at Brewton was arranged in an incomplete lattice square design with four replications. 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 45°) or a few plants down; 3– either all plants leaning moderately (approximately 45° ) or 25 to 50 percent of the plants down; 4– either all plants leaning more than 45° 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 rows 14 days after maturity. A rating of 1 indicated no shattering, a rating of 3 indicated a 4 to 8 percent shattering, and a rating of 5 meant 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 for 2000 is shown in Table 3. Most standard tests in the northern and central regions were planted late due to the lack of moisture. The normal planting dates for full season plantings in the regular tests are the first week in May, May 15 to 25, and May 25 to June 5 for northern, central, and southern Alabama locations, respectively. The very early planted test at Brewton was not planted due to lack of soil moisture at the normal early planting time. The Group IV test at Crossville was lost to drought conditions. The Sumter soil test at Marion Junction was not harvested due to drought and severe iron chlorosis. COMPARING VARIETIES To help determine 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 2000 test, and for the location’s or region’s two- and three-year averages. The difference in yield of two varieties must exceed the L.S.D. value for one variety to be considered superior to others in yield in that particular test. The C.V. is 1 Glass is an Agricultural Program Associate, Monks is an Extension Cotton and Soybean Specialist, and Delaney is an Extension Associate for Cotton and Soybeans in the Auburn University Department of Agronomy and Soils. 4 ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION 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 one-year performance. Three-year regional averages are considered a reliable evaluation of the relative performance of varieties.
