6 Arkansas Wheat Cultivar Performance Tests R.E. Mason 2, R.G. Miller 2, D.E. Moon 2, and J.P. Kelley 2 Introduction Wheat cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas System DIvision of Agriculture s Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and marketing seed in the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for small-grain producers. The tests are conducted at the Northeast Research and Extension Center at Keiser, the Vegetable Substation near Kibler, the Lon Mann Cotton Research Station near Marianna, the Newport Extension Center near Newport, the Rohwer Research Station near Rohwer, and the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart. In , an additional test was planted at the Pine Tree Research Station near Colt. In addition, entries are evaluated in a stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici) inoculated nursery in Fayetteville and Fusarium head blight (FHB) inoculated nursery in Newport. Specific location and cultural practice information accompany each table. Methods Each wheat test contained 96 entries. A randomized complete block experimental design 4 replications was used for all tests. A seeding rate of 105 lbs/a was used to establish plots 20 feet in length and 49 inches in width (7 rows, 7 inches apart). The tests at Rohwer and Pine Tree were planted using a grain drill 9 rows, 6 inches apart. Due to the larger area planted (plot width), the effective seeding rate was reduced to 82 lbs/a. All sites used conventional seedbed preparation, the exception of Rohwer where raised beds were used. Plots were end-trimmed, and harvested a plot combine. Characters Evaluated : Grain yield was calculated from the weight of seed from each plot as measured by the Harvest Master Pro 4100 and is expressed as bushels per acre (bu/a) at 13.0% moisture content. Test weight: Test weight, expressed in pounds per bushel (lbs/bu), was determined using the Harvest Master Pro 4100 at 13.0% moisture. Lodging: Lodging is reported as an estimated percentage of plants prostrate at maturity: 1 = 10% lodged; 10 = 100% lodged. Lodging ratings are taken at or near harvest. Heading Date: Heading dates are reported as the day of year that an estimated 50% of the heads were fully emerged from the boot. Maturity Date: Maturity dates are reported as the day of year an estimated 90% of the culms were senesced or yellow. Disease Ratings: Disease infections are rated visually based on the percentage (0-100 or 0-9) of leaf or glume area displaying symptoms on a whole plot basis, higher numbers equating to higher levels of infection, unless otherwise noted.

7 Arkansas Wheat Cultivar Performance Tests Weather Summary Overall planting conditions were favorable and a dry winter resulted in good plant establishment. Total rainfall was below average for all locations, particularly during late fall and winter. A mild winter resulted in average heading dates days ahead of normal. Freezing temperatures (26-32 oc) around March 15 and early heading resulted in some minor freeze damage. The test at Stuttgart was planted and not harvested due to severe geese damage. Results Variety testing plots were established in 6 Arkansas locations, including Keiser, Kibler, Marianna, Newport, Pine Tree, and Rohwer. s were average to above average across locations while test weight was lower than average, likely due to both freeze damage and a shortened growing season. The highest average grain yield was observed in Newport (80.4 bu/a) and the lowest in Keiser (60.1 bu/a). Moderate levels of stripe rust and leaf rust were observed in most locations, particularly on highly susceptible lines. At Newport, application of a foliar fungicide resulted in a 9.1 bu/a increase in mean grain and a 0.9 lb/bu increase in test weight compared to the standard treatment. At Rohwer, application of a foliar fungicide resulted in a 5.6 bu/a increase in mean grain yield and 1.2 lb/bu increase in mean test weight. Ratings at various locations were taken by Esten Mason and Program Associates David Moon and Randy Miller. 5
