Off-station spring barley cultivar evaluations for the Western Golden Triangle area of Montana
Principal Investigator: Gadi V.P. Reddy, Professor of Entomology/Insect Ecology, Western Triangle Ag Research Center
Personnel: John H. Miller, Research Scientist, Julie Prewett, Research Assistant, WTARC, Conrad, MT, and Jamie Sherman and Liz Elmore, MSU, PSPP Dept., Bozeman, MT.
Cooperators: Bradley Farms, North of Cut Bank, MT Brian Aklestad, North of Devon, MT Aaron Killion, East of Brady, MT Inbody Farms, Northeast of Choteau, MT
Objectives: There are diverse cropping environments within the area served by Western Triangle Agricultural Research Center. Each off station location has its own unique environment and soils. Producers in the various locations are interested in variety performance in the local area.
To this end the objective is to evaluate spring barley varieties under the local conditions with respect to yield, test weight, plant height, plump seed, thin seed and seed protein. The environmental conditions at the off station nurseries can vary greatly from those at WTARC. The research center strives to provide growers of the western triangle area unbiased information of various spring barley varieties.
Methods: Off station barley nurseries consist of 16 entries replicated three times, seeded with a four row plot seeder on one foot spacing. All plots were planted on no-till chemical fallow. Plots were trimmed, measured for length, and then harvested with a Hege 140 or a Wintersteiger Classic plot combine. Spring barley seed was not cleaned prior to collecting yield data.
Results: Table 1 and 2 are data from the dryland intrastate malt/feed barley trial. Tables 3 and 4 are for the irrigated intrastate malt/feed barley nursery. Results are tabulated in Tables 1 thru 10. The irrigated off-station spring barley nursery data are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Table 3 is for the Choteau location, with multi-year data presented in Table 4. Tables 7 and 8 are for the Devon location, with Table 9 and 10 representing the ‘Knees’ location. The Cut Bank data are presented in Tables 5 and 6. Table 11 is the soil test results from each location.
Overall, the crop year temperatures where much warmer than 31 year average at the research center, July was 4.9 degrees warmer than the average. But the overall average temperature for the year from September to August was 1 degree cooler than the 31 year average. The winter temperature was well below average, with the exception of November being about 7 degrees warmer than usual. December and January were 10 and 6 degrees colder than the 31 year average while May thru August were warmer than the 31 year average. July was 5 degrees warmer than the normal. Precipitation was generally above the average from September to April, then below normal from May to August. Overall, precipitation was average for the year.
The spring barley plots were seeded into soil that had good soil moisture storage from the previous years’ fallow period. Overall, considering the lack of moisture and higher than normal temperatures this past summer, the barley did quite well.
Yields for the dryland intrastate malt/feed nursery ranged from 74.2 to 116.4 bu/ac with an average test weight of 52.8 bu/ac. Plump average was 98.5 % with an average of 9.8 % seed protein (Table 1). Irrigated intrastate malt/feed nursery had a range of 85.1 to 136.3 bu/ac with an average test weight of 51.7. The nursery averaged 97.8% plump and 9.9 % seed protein (Table 2).
The hull-less dryland barley intrastate nursery had an average yield of 56.5 bu/ac with an average test weight of 58.0 lbs/bu and 11.4 % grain protein. Yields in the hull-less dryland barley ranged from 23.4 bu/ac for Purple Prairie and 69.9 bu/ac for the Montana State University entry MT110061 (Table 15). Irrigated hull-less barley trial had an average yield of 68.1 bu/ac and an average test weight of 57.1 lbs/bu and 12.3% average seed protein. Yields in the hull-less irrigated barley ranged from 39.0 bu/ac for Purple Prairie and 83.5 bu/ac entry X0626-T22 (Table 15).
Yields for the irrigated off station spring barley nursery, averaged 110.1 bu/ac, with Odyssey, Oreana, and MT124073 being the top yielders at 130.3, 124.6, and 122.1 bu/ac. There was an average kernel plumpness of 94.2%, a mean protein of 9.0%, and an average test weight of 51.3 lb/bu (Table 1). Five year means for the irrigated off station nursery are tabulated in (Table 2).
Grain yields averaged 74.1 bu/acre at the Knees, 60.0 bu/ac north of Devon, 81.8 bu/ac at the Choteau site, and 73.7 bu/ac at the site north of Cut Bank. Kernel plumpness averaged 79.6 % and test weight averaged 47.1 lbs/bu at the Devon site while kernel plumpness averaged 69.9% and test weight averaged 46.0 lbs/bu at the Knees. Choteau kernel plumpness was 67.0 % and test weight averaged 45.0 lbs/bu. The nursery at Cut Bank averaged 48.2 lb/bu, 80.8% plumps, with 10.5 % seed protein (Tables 3 thru 10).
Top yielding varieties at the Knees were Oreana, Champion, and Haxby, yields were 85.6, 81.2, and 79.7 bu/ac. Whereas the top yielding barleys north of Devon were Oreana, Champion, and Lavina they yielded 77.5, 75.5, and 69.8 bu/ac. Yielding highest at the Choteau site were Oreana, Champion, and Bill Coors 100 with yields of 94.4, 91.0 and 87.2 bu/ac. High yielding varieties at Cut Bank were Montana State University experimental entry MT124128, 90.5 bu/ac, Champion, 83.6 bu/ac and Oreana, 82.8 bu/ac (Tables 3 thru 10). This being the first year Oreana was in the off station barley nurseries, it was the top yielding variety at three locations and the third yielding barley at one location.
The hot dry weather this past summer gave the barley varieties the opportunity to show what they can do with respect to malt quality barley when conditions are not ideal. In general, the Montana State University experimental entries, MT124128 and MT 090190 held their plumps well and did not have as high a seed protein as other entries in the off station dryland plots during our hotter and drier than usual summer.
No insect incidence (wheat stem sawfly or wireworms) was noticed in any of the barley varieties, on or off station. Insignificant amount of adult wheat midge were found at the off station locations.
Summary: The data from the off station plots is supported by the local producers and advisory committee as well as the seed industry. It is planned to continue the off station variety plots at the same locations as the environmental conditions at each location is unique to the western triangle area.
These data should be used for comparative purposes rather than using absolute numbers. Statistics are used to indicate that treatment or variety differences are really different and are not different due to chance or error. The Least Significant Difference (LSD) and Coefficient of Variability (CV) values are useful in comparing treatment or variety differences. The LSD value represents the smallest difference between two treatments at a given probability level. The LSD at p=0.05 or 5 % probability level is usually the statistic reported, and it means that the odds are 19 to 1 that treatment differences by the amount of the LSD are truly different. The CV value measures the variability of the experiment or variety trial, and a CV greater than 15 % indicates a high degree of variability and less accuracy.
Funding Summary: Office of Special Projects will provide expenditure information. No other grants support this project.
