PERFORMANCE OF SMALL GRAIN VARIETIES IN NORTH CAROLINA
John C. Rice, E. L. Jones, G. C. Oliver, Ray Adams
1/
INTRODUCTION
The Official Variety Test on Small Grain varieties in North Carolina
is conducted annually by locating evaluation trials throughout the small
grain producing area of the state. These tests are conducted to determine
the value and suitability of commercially available and prospective
varieties of wheat, oats and barley for planting in North Carolina. The
results of these tests are intended to aid the growers and agricultural
workers in the selection of a variety best suited for their particular
area of the state or region.
In North Carolina the wheat production for the 1970-71 season is
expected to be 9,912,000 bushels. This production will be harvested
from 236,000 acres estimated to be 28% above the previous season's
acreage. The North Carolina production for the current season is
expected to be up 25% from the 1970 production. For 1971, the state
average yield for wheat is estimated to be 42 bushels per acre, one
bushel below last year's record yield but equal to the previous record
yield set in 1969.
I/professor in Charge of Variety Testing, Agricultural Research
The North Carolina acreage of oats planted for 1970-71 and spring
planted oats in 1971 totaled 253,000 acres. This acreage was seven
percent above the 236,000 acres planted for the 1970 crop. All small
grain acreages in North Carolina are higher for 1971, due in large
measure to the short corn crop in 1970.
Barley production for 1970 was 3,276,00 bushels and the 1970-71
crop was planted on 63,000 acreso The 1970 yield was 19 percent above the
1969 production. Yield per acre in 1970 averaged 52 bushels per acre,
an increase of two bushels over the 1969 average.
Information on varietal performance is presented from six test
locations in the state, three in the Piedmont and three in the Coastal
Plain Area. In comparing the performance of varieties, data from the
area which most nearly represents the growers' conditions should be used.
Seasonal conditions differ from year to year; therefore, a variety which
looks superior for one year may not be consistently good, hence,
varie-ties should be evaluated on the basis of performance over several years.
Depending upon the release date of the entry, data are presented for
performance from one to five years. All available datal/were used in
determining the pathologic and agronomic characteristics of the varieties.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Commercial varieties and experimental lines developed by public
and private agencies are included in these tests. Any individual or
firm may make application for having entries included by writing the
Department of Crop Science, North Carolina State University at Raleigh.
A fee is charged on an entry basis for all private entries. Personnel
of the testing program may include entries about which further
infor-mation is desired.

Cultural Practices
Cultural practices, such as seed bed preparation, date of planting,
fertilization and topdressing were in accord with good farming practices
and were uniform for all entries at a given location, Table 1. Several
months prior to planting each test location, soil samples were obtained
for the test field and fertilizer requirements made in accordance with
the soil analysis report. Lime was applied, if needed, to adjust the
pH to a desirable level for small grain production.
Starting in 1969 all tests were planted with cone-type,
tractor-mounted, spring-loaded disc equipment. The disc allowed for more accurate
seeding in areas with stubble or organic matter on the soil surface. The
seeding rate was one gram per foot of row. The rows were spaced one foot
apart. Each plot consisted of seven rows, 15 feet long with the two
out-side rows used as borders. The border rows were removed prior to harvest
and only the five center rows were harvested. The date of planting and
fertilization at planting is shown in Table 1 for each test location.
A seven foot combine was modified slightly for harvesting individual
plots. Grain from individual plots was collected as it carne from the
elevator and weighed. The combine was stopped at the end of each plot
for a short interval of time in order for the machine to clean out
between plots prior to weighing the grain from the plot. A sample of
grain was taken from each plot for the determination of test weight
and moisture. All plots were adjusted to 13% moisture. All barley samples
were run through a small thresher to remove the awns prior to taking test
under which these varieties would be harvested on farms and it appears
to give very satisfactory results.
Seasonal Conditions
The 1970-71 small grain growing season in North Carolina was
generally conducive for good growth and high yields. The six locations
for the 1970-71 Official Variety Test, three in the Piedmont and three
in the Coastal Plain Area of the state, were selected to represent small
grain production areas.
October 1970: It was dry during the early part of the month but
showers across the state loosened soil and allowed farmers to prepare
for seeding Official Variety Tests. Tests were planted on recommended
dates and good stands were obtained.
November 1970: Temperatures were normal for most of the month.
On the last seven days near-record readings, both on the high and low
side occurred. As a cold wave moved into the western part of the state
and spread to the coast, temperatures ranged from 10 degrees below zero
to the upper seventies during the day. This was a range of 90 Fahrenheit
degrees.
Rainfall was scant over most of the state during November. Nearly
half of the measuring stations had less than two inches and several
places had less than one inch.
December 1970: December was a fair weather month with little
precipitation during the latter half of the month. Average temperatures
January 1971: This month was colder than average but less severe
than the record breaking January of 1970. Average temperatures for the
month were two to four degrees below normal. Rainfall varied from one
and one-half inches to nine inches with the average for the state near
normal. Rain was reasonably well distributed throughout the state.
February 1971: Average weather was quite close to normal. It
was the warmest February in five years, but the temperatures were below
normal most of the time until the 16th. Rain was frequent with the
total in most areas near or a little more than normal.
March 1971: March was more windy than usual with average sunny
skies and abundant precipitation. An unusually late season and snow
affected nearly all of the state on the 25th and 26th. Average
temper-atures were mostly around four degrees below normal.
April 1971: April is usually the month showing the most rapid
rise in temperature of the year, but the 1971 April warmed up very littleo
Average temperature at the end of the month was the same as at the
beginning. Freezing weather was reported as late as the 30th at some
places. Average temperature for the month was two to five degrees
below normal. It was the coldest April since 1961. Rainfall was fairly
uniform over most of the state ranging from two to four inches.
May 1971: May showed very slow progress in the advance of the
spring season. Average temperatures were five degrees below normal and
the last week in May was cooler than the third week. These conditions
All locations in the Official Variety Test were planted on
schedule according to recommended seeding dateso A good seed bed
was present at each locations and this resulted in extremely excellent
stands. The specific planting dates, fertilizer, topdressing and harvest
dates are shown in Table 1. Lodging data was obtained where lodging
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The performance of the 1971 tests along with the previous four
years are presented by crop and area in a tabular form in this report.
Since the genetic expression of a variety is influenced greatly by the
environment, it is best to have several years' data from which to draw
conclusions. For example, if a variety appeared in the two-year average
but not in the three-year average, then it must be compared only within
the two years and not with the data in the three-year average since it
is possible that the third year could have been extremely good or poor
and not comparable.
The 1971 data presented in this report have been analyzed
statis-tically and the least significant difference (L.S.D.), in terms of
bushels per acre and pounds per bushel is given. Unless the difference
between two varieties is greater than the L.S.D., the varieties should
not be considered as being any different statistically.
Barley
Table 5 shows the performance of barley in the Piedmont. The
yields varied from a high of 88.9 bushels per acre for the variety
Rapidan and experimental line, NC 83, to 73.2 bushels for the variety,
McNair 601, for the 1971 season. A five-year average also showed the
variety, Keowee, to have the highest yield at 85.6 bushels per acre.
The test weight of 47.9 and 47.6 pounds per bushel for the varieties,
~eowee and Barsoy were the highest for the 1971 season. Keowee also
Harrison was very close with a 47.7 average for five years. All test
weights were lower for the 1971 season than for the 1970 season.
In the Coastal Plain Area, Table 6, shows the difference in yield
between varieties. The variety, Clayton, yielded higher than other
entries with an average of 84.7 bushels per acre for the 1971 season.
The Barsoy variety had the highest test weight with an average of 48.4
pounds per bushel. Most test weight data was lower than for the 1970
season.
Over the five-year average, the variety, Keowee, had the highest
yield at 80.6 bushels per acre and Harrison had the highest test weight
with an average of 48.3 pounds per bushel.
Oats
The data from the oat trials in the Piedmont are presented in
Table 7. The yields for 1971 were somewhat lower than in 1970.
Va. 65-32-21 was the highest yielding with an a'verage of 126.2 bushels
per acre. The test weights were much lower with NC 161 having a top
of 35.4 pounds per bushel.
Yancey had the highest five-year yield with 107.9 bushels per
acre while Coker 242 had the highest test weight of 36.1 pounds per
bushel.
In the Coastal Plain Area, Table 8, the oat yields varied from a
high of 119.9 bushels per acre for Ora to 75.1 bushels for Yancey.
There was a difference of 44.8 bushels per acre between the high and
pounds per bushel. Over a five-year average, Ora had the highest
yield of 108.8 and also had the highest test weight of 37.3.
Wheat
Table 9 shows the data on the wheat trials in the Piedmont. The
experimental line, NC 7, had the highest yield with 67.6 bushels per
acre. Coker 68-15, with an average of 58.2 pounds per bushel, had the
highest test weight.
Over a five-year period, Blueboy had the highest yield of 68.9 and
Coker 65-20 had the highest test weight of 59.5 pounds per bushel.
The Coastal Plain data are presented in Table 10. NC 7 led the
test with an average of 65.8 bushels per acre. Arthur had the best
test weight with 58.7 and all test weight data were below the 1970
season.
Blueboy and Coker 65-20 were the only two varieties tested for
f~ve years. Blueboy had an average of 61.0 bushels per acre and Coker 65-20 had an average test weight of 56.5 pounds per bushel.
Lodging
Lodging data are given in Table 11. A one-year, two-year, three-year
and four-year comparison is shown with notation giving the number of
locations where lodging occurredo In 1971 a total of six locations was
used for lodging data. If no lodging was recorded at a specific location,
data on this location was used for the average along with percent lodging
