Grain-evaluation studies were conducted at five locations, including Tifton, Plains, and Midville in the Coastal Plain region, Griffin in the Piedmont region, and Calhoun in the Limestone Valley region. Small grain forage evaluation tests were conducted at three locations that included Tifton and Plains in the Coastal Plain, and Griffin in the Piedmont. For identification of the test locations, consult the map inside the back cover of this report. Additional agronomic data such as plant height, lodging, disease incidence, etc., are listed along with the corresponding yield data.
Information concerning culture and fertilizer practices used is included in footnotes.
Since the average yield from several years indicates a variety's potential better than a single year's data, multiple-year yield summaries are included. In order to have a broad base of information, a number of varieties, including experimental lines, are included in the tests, but this does not imply that all are recommended for Georgia. For additional information, contact your local county extension agent or the nearest experiment station. If the yields of any two varieties differ by the LSD value or more, they may be considered different. The lower the value for the standard error of the entry mean, the more precise the experiment.
