Objective:
To evaluate the agronomic performance of barley grown in northwestern Montana.
Personnel:
David Larson, Jessica Pavelka Jamie Sherman, Joseph Jenson, Gregory Lutgen, Jessica Torrion
Summary:
There were 25 Barley varieties/lines planted on 26 April 2023, and harvested on 7 Sept. 2023. Detailed cultural practices are shown in Table 1. The trial was grown under rainfed conditions receiving 5.8 inches of rain between planting and harvest on a field with subsurface water recharge.
The average yield was 99.90bu/A with MT19_M065_05 being the highest with an average yield of 164.8 bu/A and MT16F01601 being the lowest at 8.7 bu/A. The trial had an average plumps of 98% with MT16M01801 being the best performer with 99.9% plump and MT17F02410 the lowest performer with 95.3%. The study had an average protein of 12.3% with MT19_H11_04 having the highest protein (14.6%) and MT Boy Howdy being the lowest (10.5%).
