2 PREFACE Our motto is We test the best and that is exactly what we do. Each year, the best seed companies and organizations select several of their best varieties for evaluation by the MU Variety Testing Program. We use the latest scientific principles and procedures to provide farmers and others with an interest in soybean variety performance with accurate and unbiased information. We respect the seed companies and organizations that put their varieties to the test. We are honored that they entrust us with their valuable products. It takes courage to allow their varieties to be compared with all of the others. Not every company participates in our program for various reasons. Those companies that do participate deserve your consideration when purchasing seed for the next growing season. Please view the table at the back of our book for names and addresses of participating seed companies. Thank them for their courage and tell them you saw their variety in our program. The MU Variety Testing Program has provided Missouri farmers with unbiased variety comparisons for more than 75 years, first with corn, then soybean and wheat. Current staff members have a total of over 100 years of experience with testing crop yield performance. Our plots are placed where you farm. They have the soils and weather conditions your fields have. The MU Variety Testing Program is on-farm research in the truest sense of the word. Fifteen of our locations are on farmer fields in your communities. The other four locations are MU farms. These CAFNR owned and operated research centers sample the north, central and southeast regions of Missouri and combined with the private farm locations provide you with the diversity of environments you need to select the best varieties for your farm. View the map in our procedures section to see the placement of our locations and the cooperators that are so important to the quality of our information. Evaluating yield and making decisions based on that evaluation are difficult because yield is highly affected by environment even the small differences that exist across a field. We use replication, plot size, and plot placement to minimize the noise. Please read the procedures section of this book to better understand what we do and the tools we provide you to make variety selection decisions. Our data tables are arranged to help you quickly see how varieties compare. We strongly suggest that you use information from more than one location. Our tables of region means provide you comparisons across multiple locations. Although yield is extremely important please see our variety characteristics table located near the back of the book to view additional information that you might find helpful during variety selection. Thank you for your interest and support. Please support the companies that participate in our program. If you have suggestions on how we can improve our program please contact me directly (wieboldw@missouri.edu; ). The MU Variety Testing Program exists to serve your needs. We want to provide you with the best information possible. William Bill Wiebold

3 PROCEDURES Regions and Locations The MU Variety Testing Program divides the soybean growing region of Missouri into four regions: North, Central, Southeast, and Southwest. Each region contains five locations, and the same varieties are tested in all locations within a region. Locations for 2013 are as follows: 1. Craig (Holt County); Steve Cunningham Farm 2. Albany (Gentry Counth); Hundley-Whaley Research Center 3. Mooresville (Livingston County.); Beetsma farm 4. Novelty (Knox County); Greenley Research Center 5. LaGrange (Lewis County; Roger Tiemann Farm 6. Henrietta (Ray County); John Williams Farm 7. Grand Pass (Saline County); Ryland and Fred Utlaut Farm 8. Columbia (Boone County); Bradford Research and Extension Center. 9. Truxton (Montgomery County); Roy Cope Farm 10. Annada (Pike County.); Bob Burkemper Farm 11. Harrisonville (Cass County); Roth Farm 12. Adrian (Bates County); Darrel Tenholder Farm 13. Urich (Henry County); Kurt Gretzinger Farm 14. Nevada (Vernon County); Steve Cubbage Farm 15. Lamar (Barton County); Wally Norton Farm 16. Chaffee (Scott County); Martin Eftink Farm 17. Morehouse (New Madrid County); Tom Jennings Farm 18. New Madrid (New Madrid County) Peter Rost Farm 19. Portageville Loam (Pemiscot County); Delta Research Center 19. Portageville Clay (Pemiscot County); Delta Research Center Entries All seed companies and organizations were eligible to enter the 2013 soybean test. Participation was voluntary and the MU Variety Testing Program exercised no control over which or how many varieties were entered. The MU Variety Testing Program receives no Missouri tax dollars, so a fee was collected for each entry to fund the program. All soybean varieties, regardless of herbicide trait, were entered into a single test. Varieties were separated by Maturity Group e.g. MG 3, MG 4, and MG 5. Maturity Group information was provided by seed companies. Field Plot Design and Plot Management Varieties were randomly arranged in the field according to a lattice design with three replications. Row spacing for all locations was 30 inches and seeding rate was 160,000 seeds/acre. Plots were two rows wide (5 feet) and 27 feet long. All rows of each plot were harvested to determine yield. Plots were planted and harvested with commercial equipment modified for small plot work. Fertilizer was applied at each location at the discretion of the farmer or the station manager. Weed control was achieved with preplant herbicides and various conventional post-emergence herbicides. Additional hand weeding was done as required. Management details varied among locations and are specified in the regional crop management summaries. Data Recorded Lodging and height were determined immediately before harvest. A scale of 1 to 5 was used to score lodging where 1 = less than 20% plants lodged, 3 = all plants leaning moderately or 40% - 60% plants

4 down, 5 = more than 80% plants down. During harvest, plot grain weights were measured and an electronic moisture tester was used to determine the moisture content of the grain. Yields were corrected to a moisture content of 13% and expressed as bushels/acre. The MU Variety Testing program attempted to locate sites in fields of low to moderate levels of SCN. Comparing Varieties The performance of a variety cannot be measured with absolute precision. Uncontrolled variability is involved in the determination of each plot s yield. This variability exists in all field experiments and in farmer fields. Statistics are used to account for this variability and to assist farmers in selecting superior varieties. The statistical tool used by the MU Variety Testing Program is called least significant difference (LSD). The LSD is simple to use. When two varieties are compared and the difference between them is greater than the LSD, the entries are considered to be significantly different. Differences between two varieties that are smaller than the LSD may have occurred by chance and are considered to be not significant. In other words, the two varieties might have the same yield, grain moisture or other characteristics of interest. The LSD can be found at the bottom of each table. The MU Variety Testing Program arranges varieties within each table from highest yield to lowest yield. The "top yielding variety in each test is identified by a double asterisk (**) placed next to its yield. Varieties that did not yield significantly less than the highest yielding variety in the test are denoted in the tables by a single asterisk (*). Thus, by reading down the yield column, readers can readily identify the highest yielding varieties in a test. Variety performance may seem inconsistent from location to location and from year to year. These differences are caused by differences among environments for rainfall, temperatures, soil fertility, diseases, insects, and many other factors. To obtain an improved estimate of relative variety performance, readers should consider results from more than one environment (locations and/or years). The vast majority of varieties are entered into our tests for only one year, so comparing varieties across multiple locations becomes even more important. The MU Variety Testing Program facilitates variety comparisons across locations by publishing Region Means. Region Means tables contain yield data from all individual locations in the region with yields averaged across the locations. The variety with the highest average yield and varieties that do not differ for yield from that variety are designated with double (**) and single (*) asterisks. Although yield usually receives first consideration, other agronomic characteristics may be equally important when selecting a soybean variety. Standability, maturity, herbicide tolerance and disease resistance are among the characteristics that deserve careful consideration. We provide a table that contains several important characteristics of varieties entered into the MU Variety Testing Program. This information was provided by seed companies. Please contact seed company representatives for the latest information. Seed entered into the MU Variety Testing Program is usually treated with one or more seed treatments. These seed treatments are identified in the table listing the variety characteristics. Accessibility of Data Results of the 2013 crop performance tests are available in print format and online at varietytesting.missouri.edu.
