In 1999, Kentucky farmers harvested 25.8 million bushels of soft red winter wheat produced on 430,000 acres. The average yield of 60 bu/a was 13 bushels more than the 1998 yield. Barley yields were 86 bu/a, 23 bushels more than the 1998 yields.
Small grain performance tests were conducted in six of the seven agroclimatic regions of Kentucky (Figure 1). Agricultural areas within each region are considered to have similar soil types and climatic conditions. Each region having a substantial acreage of a small grain commodity will have a trial conducted in that region for that commodity.
The objective of the Kentucky small grain variety trials is to evaluate varieties of barley and wheat that are commercially available or may soon be available to Kentucky farmers. New varieties are continually being developed by agricultural experiment stations and commercial firms. Annual evaluation of small grain varieties and selections provides seedsmen, farmers, and other agricultural workers with current information to help them select the varieties best adapted to their locality and individual requirements.
Since weather, soil, and other environmental factors will alter varietal performance from one location to another, tests are grown in six locations (Figure 1) in the state.

Beginning in 1998, varieties were evaluated under both conventional and no-till cultural practices. No-till tests were grown at two locations in addition to the conventional tests, which were grown at all locations.
The plots were planted with specifically built multi-row conventional and no-till cone seeders. Conventional test plots consisted of six rows to form a plot 4 feet wide and 15 feet long, which was later trimmed to 10 feet in length. No-till plots consisted of seven rows to form a plot 4.5 feet wide and 40 feet long, which was later trimmed to 20 feet in length. Each variety was grown in four replications, and the data presented are the average response from the four replications. Plots were harvested with a small plot combine. Planting dates of all trials for the past three years are listed in Table 2.
In some instances, uncontrollable factors—such as excessive rainfall, winterkilling, high winds, hail, grazing cattle, etc.—adversely affected an experiment so that the results were judged unreliable. When this occurred, results are not given for that location and year. Data averaged over a period of years gives a more accurate picture of varietal performance than does annual data.

Since genetic expression of a variety is greatly influenced by environmental conditions, it is best to have several years’ data from which to draw conclusions. Performance of a variety tested for only one year should not be compared with a three-year average of another variety, since it is possible that results in one of the other years were extremely good or poor, and thus not comparable.
The yield of a variety is relative and should be compared with the yields of the other varieties in the same experiment and at the same location. Small differences in yield of only a few bushels per acre between two varieties from an individual test should not be interpreted to indicate the superiority of one variety over another. However, if one variety consistently outyields another over a period of several years, the chances are that the differences are real.
Lodging data are very difficult to interpret. A high-yielding variety should not necessarily be downgraded because of a high percentage of lodging for a given year at a given location. Local weather conditions, such as wind and rain, may cause a variety to lodge much more than it normally does. Variety trials normally have a greater degree of lodging than do farmer fields. It should also be emphasized that a variety reported to be 50% lodged does not imply that only 50% of the grain could be harvested. With good equipment, almost all of the grain can often be saved. Lodging data for a period of years should receive more consideration than annual lodging data, since they will give a more accurate picture of varietal performance.
Favorable weather conditions during October allowed for timely seeding of the wheat and barley variety trials. November weather was dominated by very mild temperatures with above-normal rainfall. December temperatures were above normal, with slightly above-normal precipitation. January had above- normal temperatures and rainfall. February continued very mild, with above-normal precipitation. The trials came through the very mild winter with no winterkill. Mild weather continued through March and April, and the tests continued to develop very well.
Disease infestations overall were very light with the exception of two locations, which had a rather high incidence of barley yellow dwarf virus. Disease ratings were made for barley yellow dwarf, mildew, leaf rust, and speckled leaf blotch. These ratings are presented in Table 11. The Russellville, Shelbyville, and Princeton locations were treated with fungicides to control fungal diseases. All other tests were untreated so varieties could be rated for disease resistance.
Varieties eligible for certification include (1) varieties that may have potential for Kentucky and (2) older varieties that are still acceptable for production in Kentucky. The characteristics of wheat and barley varieties are summarized in Tables 3 and 12, respectively.
Kentucky’s climate and soils are well suited for the production of high quality soft red winter wheat. No single variety has all the desirable characteristics, but each has certain advantages. Yielding ability, straw strength, height, earliness, grain quality, and disease resistance are important in choosing a variety. Varietal performance is presented in Tables 3-8. No-till varietal performance is presented in Tables 9 and 10.
Winter barleys are less winter-hardy than winter wheat but more hardy than winter oats. The degree of winter-hardiness, straw strength, and maturity are important characteristics when choosing a variety. Varietal performance data are presented in Tables 12-14b.
Planting certified seed is one of the first steps in ensuring a good small grain crop. The extra cost of certified seed is justified in view of the high quality of seed obtained. Certified seed is seed which has been grown in such a way as to ensure the genetic identity and purity of a variety. Certified seed also helps to maintain freedom from weed and other crop seed and, in some cases, freedom from disease. The Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station recommends that Kentucky-certified seed be used whenever possible for growing commercial crops of small grains.

| VS= VERY SUSCEPTIBLE; R= RESISTANT; MR=MODERATELY RESISTANT; S=SUSCEPTIBLE; MS=MODERATELY SUSCEPTIBLE; (--)-INSUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO RATE IN PRESENCE OF DISEASE. In general, varieties with a VS or S reaction to a given disease will not perform well if that disease becomes severe, while varieties rated R or MR will perform well in those situations. Varieties with an MS reaction will have an intermediate response. ** Data are insufficient to indicate a specific barley yellow dwarf (BYD) reaction (i.e., VS, R, etc), but varieties with the lowest percent BYD symptom expression are the most likely to perform acceptably if BYD is present. | ||||||
