Evaluation of Spring Barley Variety Performance in Trials Near Moccasin, Denton, and Fort Benton (Moore) (2002)
(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2002) Hensleigh, Pat F.; Mickelson, Suzanne; Sharp, Gail L.; Philips, Dave; Vavrovsky, Joe; Wargo, Judee; Wichman, David M.
This report evaluates the agronomic performance of spring barley varieties in recrop environments in the southern triangle and central Montana.Barley variety trials were established on recrop near Moccasin, Denton, and Moore. The Moore site was substituted for the Fort Benton site because of the severe drought conditions that were present at Fort Benton when the spring wheat was seeded there. Unfortunately, the Moore site experienced severe drought conditions throughout the spring and early summer. Harsh drought and grasshoppers severely diminished the quality of the Moore site. The Moccasin and Denton locations provided an indication of the potential of barley varieties under marginal plant available water.
Intrastate, Early Yield, and Malt Barley Variety Performance (2002)
(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2002) Hensleigh, Pat F.; Mickelson, Suzanne; Sharp, Gail L.; Vavrovsky, Joe; Wichman, David M.
This report evaluates agronomic performance of new experimental lines and existing barley varieties in central Montana. The Intrastate barley yield trial was harvested when much of the grain had 15% or higher moisture. Yields ranged from 56.4 bu/a for MT950186 down to 35.6 bu/a for Haybet. Mean protein content was 14.5 %. The early yield trial was harvested on August 12 when the grain was well ripe. Yield range was tighter for the early yield trial than the yield range found in the intrastate nursery. A few of the test lines had test weights greater than 50 lbs/bu while five had test weights of 47.6 lbs/bu or less.
Statewide Spring Oat Variety Performance Trial (2002)
(Central Agricultural Research Center, 2002) Hensleigh, Pat F.; Mickelson, Suzanne; Sharp, Gail L.; Vavrovsky, Joe; Wichman, David M.
This report evaluates the agronomic performance of new experimental lines and existing oat varieties in central Montana. The oat grain nursery was sprayed twice for insects, once for cutworms in May and once for grasshoppers in July. The alleys surrounding the cereal forage were sprayed with Sevin for grasshopper control. The oat for grain was harvested on the damp side due to hail risk concerns. Oat yields were down due to moisture stress, grasshopper defoliation and wind shatter. Several new lines had good to excellent performance in 2002.
