7 THE 1990 ALABAMA PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES Donald L. Thurlow and W.C. Johnson 1 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 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. Data from tests conducted at 12 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 three management systems: grain only, grain following grazing, 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. However, due to lack of moisture, the Headland, 'Associate Professor and Professor of Agronomy and Soils, respectively. -7-

8 Fairhope, and Camden tests in 1988 were planted November 22 and 30 and December 7, respectively. Planting dates for all tests in 1989 were delayed because of excess rainfall, table 1. 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. Grain following grazing: The grazing tests were located at Winfield and Camden only. These tests were grazed periodically during fall and winter, followed by removal of cattle in February or early March to allow the crop to joint and produce grain. These tests were planted around October i, and fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre. The plots were grazed closely each time 6-8 inches of forage were available, but no animal or forage data were taken. The grazing was stopped in late February or early March. The test was then topdressed with 60 pounds N per acre and allowed to joint and produce grain. Forage only: The forage-only tests were usually planted around October 1; however, in 1987 only the tests at Tallassee and Headland were planted October 1 and October 9, respectively. All other locations were planted in late October to early November 1987 because of dry conditions. The tests in 1988 & 1989 were all planted at normal times in late September to early October. The tests were fertilized at planting with 100 pounds N per acre and clipped with a flail-type mower -8-

9 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 percent of the plants in the stand broken or leaning that would likely be missed by a combine. The height was measured from the ground to top of the grain head. The 1/10 headed date is the date when approximately 10 percent of a plot showed fully emerged heads. Disease ratings are given in tables 16 through 21. Dr. Robert T. Gudauskas, Department 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, while most of the common diseases were prevalent in most tests, the incidence and severity of diseases were generally a little lighter than last year. Leaf rust was light to severe and Septoria blotch was moderate to severe on wheat entries at most locations. Although occasional outbreaks of powdery mildew occurred in some tests, e.g. at Crossville and Headland, incidence of this disease was generally very light. With few exceptions, only trace levels of barley yellow dwarf were noted in wheat varieties statewide. Incidence of loose smut was -9-

10 very low everywhere, and stem rust was not seen in any test this year. On oats, crown rust was moderate to severe on most entries in the tests at Fairhope and Headland, as was Helminthosporium leafspot at Camp Hill and Winfield and barley yellow dwarf at Belle Mina. Otherwise, oat entries were little affected by disease. 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 season were warmer than normal in fall and winter, causing many of the less hardy varieties of wheat and triticale to start heading in February; this resulted in cold damage at northern locations. Conditions in the season were wetter than normal in late October and through November, resulting in many of the tests for grain only being planted in early December. Cool and wet conditions in December resulted in slow germination and development. 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. This was the second year in a row that low yields were the result of insufficient vernalization. -10-

For those who wish to graze small grains before grain harvest, 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 grain or forage to the individual farmer should be the major consideration for varietal selection. -46-
