Intrastate Barley Evaluation 2014
Objective:
To evaluate barley varieties and experimental lines for agronomic performance in environments and cropping systems representative of northwestern Montana.
Results:
Significant differences were observed for heading, height, lodging, yield, and test weight. Heading dates averaged 179 Julian days (June 28) and ranged from 173 to 183 Julian days. The average height was 33.6 inches and ranging from 27.7 to 39.0 inches. Lodging was minimal, averaging 5.4%. Yields averaged 129.7 bu/A and ranged from 71.4 bu/A for MT110109 to 176.1 bu/A for MT100128. Champion, the highest yielding commercially available cultivar, produced 141.9 bu/A. Test weights averaged 50.6 lb/bu and ranged from 44.6 lb/bu for Tradition to 58.0 lb/bu for MT110097. Protein content averaged 14.3% and ranged from 12.4% for MT100126 to 18.0% for MT110095. Percent plump averaged 83.5% ranging from 28.2% for MT110109 to 97.5% for 07034-012.
Summary:
The highest yielding commercially available cultivars were Champion and Craft.
