THE 1996 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES FOR FORAGE
K.M. Glass and D.I. Bransby

INTRODUCTION The large number of commercially available varieties of wheat, oats, rye, barley, and triticale makes it difficult for growers to select varieties most suited for forage production in their particular area of the State. Many of the small grain species and varieties differ in their capability to produce early fall and winter forage for livestock production. Making the proper selection requires up-to-date, unbiased, reliable information and varietal forage yield by season. 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. These locations represent the varied growing conditions around the State for the past three years. PROCEDURE The experimental design for the tests was a split plot design with species as the main plot and varieties as subplots. Plots were five feet by 20 feet with rows spaced seven inches apart. A cone drill was used to plant all tests. Each variety was replicated three times in each test. The tests are normally planted in late September to early October. Most test locations
