Content:

This report is intended to serve as a popularized 2019 summary of “primary” on-going cereal and oilseed crop variety investigations traditionally conducted on-station by the Variety Testing Program at Northern Agricultural Research Center.  These data represent approximately 26 percent of NARC Variety Testing Programs total research project effort on-station at Havre.  The remaining 74 percent of the research not reported here includes cultivar and product evaluations associated with larger nurseries featuring early generation or other unnamed experimental materials not of general interest to the public; and/or experimental seed treatment, specialty crop, forage, fertility, fungicide and insecticide evaluations.  Long-term data summaries reported here are limited to the most recent ten years.  This is largely due to need for report brevity and the fact that most varieties have approximately a 10-year life span before they are replaced in common use with newer materials having superior production characteristics.  Variety performance data has been continuously collected and maintained at the Havre station for 104 years beginning in 1916.  Collection of wheat stem sawfly cutting data was added beginning in 2003.

Detailed data pertaining to multiple performance characters, along with associated climatic and management inputs are presented for 2019.  Abridged, multi-year summaries for each cereal trial are limited to three crop characters (yield, test weight and sawfly rating) while the safflower summary is limited to two crop characters (yield and oil content).  Individuals desiring detailed data for other than the current year may contact the research center or refer to previous editions of this report for the year(s) of interest.

2019 Data:

It should be noted that 2019 data tables in this report represent varietal performance for a single crop year at a single location only, and thus cannot be considered representative of performance expected when differing conditions due to location, year and management are imposed.  Therefore, by itself, 2019 data shall not constitute in any form a recommendation for or against any entry or practice included.

Please note that research trial yield results recorded under wheat stem sawfly pressure are likely much higher than a producer should expect.  Small plot variety trials are managed to assess maximum yield potential and are harvested in such a way that all stems and heads are picked up by the combine, regardless of lodging or cutting due to sawfly.  Pickup guards coupled with an extremely slow ground speed and an exceptionally low cutting height help researchers collect all heads in order to assess seed yield potential.  If you are a producer in a wheat stem sawfly environment, although hollow stemmed varieties may be high yielding in research trials in your area, we strongly recommend against growing those hollow stemmed varieties.  Please be aware that if you seed hollow stemmed varieties with wheat stem sawfly present, you are only creating a breeding ground for future generations of sawfly in your area and not helping combat the pest population.

Crop year 2019 was cooler than normal with only December, January and April having above average temperatures.  Spring and summer months during the growing season had below average precipitation, however late June rainfall coupled with below average temperatures in July resulted in better than anticipated spring crop yields in north central Montana.  At Havre, annual growing season precipitation (9/1/18 through 8/31/19) was 11.29 inches, 0.78 inches lower than the average for all years since 1916.  April 1 through July 31 precipitation was 6.33 inches, or 92 percent of the 104‑year average.  Heat units expressed as "Growing Degree Days" (GDD, base 50) from May through July totaled 1106, or 86 percent of the average for the last 69 years (1951‑2019).  The last spring frost was on May 20 and the first fall frost of 2019 was on September 28, resulting in 131 frost-free days.  The minimum winter temperature was ‑38 degrees F on February 7, 2019.  Overall, the 2018-2019 average crop year temperatures were 2.6 degrees F lower than the long-term average.  The April through July growing season saw an average daily temperature of 56 degrees F, 1.45 degrees F lower than historical temperatures.  July and August temperatures were also lower than the long-term averages, with the high for 2019 recorded on August 3 at 98 degrees F.  There were 13 days with temperatures 90 degrees F or above, with no days over 100 degrees F.

Multi-Year Summary Data:

Use of a “Comparable Average” provides a mechanism for “estimating” the performance of varieties over a period of time longer than that for which actual data is available for them.  This is accomplished by comparing the performance of a “variety of interest” for the years it was actually tested with that of a designated “check” or reference variety grown in the same trial in the same years.  The performance of the variety of interest is then expressed as a percentage of the check variety’s performance.  This actual percentage or index is then applied to the actual long-term performance of the check to estimate the performance of the variety of interest had it been grown over the same long term.  The reliability of comparable average figures improves with increasing years of actual evaluation, so no entries with less than three years of actual data have been included in long-term summaries.

              2653 Entries in 4814 Plots

    GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF PLOT WORK:  (by plot count only, not by resources expended.  Demos not included.)  
      ON-STATION = 48.21%              
      OFF-STATION = 51.79%              
                           
    (Percent of TOTAL OFF-STATION by County):  (by plot count only, not by resources expended.  Demos not included.)  
    * Blaine County = 8.78% 1-Loc:   WW, SW, DUR, Vars
    * Chouteau County = 79.66% 2-Loc:   WW & SW Vars, Sawfly Screening, Multi-specie Hill Plots
    * Hill County = 0.00% 0-Loc:              
    * Liberty County = 5.78% 1-Loc:   SW, DUR Vars      
    * Phillips County = 5.78% 1-Loc:   SW, DUR Vars + 3 Spring Crop Demos by M. Manoukian
                           
      * Denotes counties traditionally served by NARC-Variety Testing.  Current off-station plot inventory for Chouteau County is abnormally
      high due to extensive cooperative wheat stem sawfly work at the Works' and Edwards' farms near Big Sandy.  Those sites alone had 
      38.2% of NARC-Variety Testing's total inventory of plots managed for 2019, but such is somewhat misleading due to all of the breeder 
      and entomology observation plots seeded.    
Note: A code letter after an experiment number signifies that the trial listed was not carried through to final report status due to one or 
  more conditions outline below.  Where more than one condition was involved, the code used denote the factor most responsible.

  g = GRANT proposal submitted / preliminary establishment only - subject to cancellation if funding not received
  h = HAIL injury                    
  I =INSECT injury
