5 Introduction The sttewide Cool-Seson Annul Forge Vriety Tril dt presented in the following pges re the results from six trils coordinted nd implemented by numerous Texs A&M AgriLife Extension nd Reserch fculty nd stff. We lso pprecite the coopertion from Texs County Extension Agents, producers, nd privte industry prtners tht contributed loctions, property, seed, time nd other ssets to conduct these field trils. The purpose of this publiction is to provide unbised yield dt for forge producers cross the stte. With this informtion, Texs forge producers cn mke educted decisions regrding the most pproprite vrieties for their geogrphic region. Vriety Selection: Selection of n pproprite cool seson forge vriety is one of the most importnt decisions producer will mke. This decision cn impct the potentil forge yield, forge nutritive vlue, disese nd insect mngement, nd mturity of the crop. It is importnt tht producers hve diversity in the vrieties plnted on their frms to minimize production risks. The choice of vrieties depends on the intended use of the crop (forge or dul-purpose) nd when forge is most needed. Even though totl forge production my be similr, certin species/vrieties tend to produce more forge during the fll, winter, or spring. Vriety diversifiction spreds the risk ssocited with potentilly devstting pests (lef nd stripe rust, Hessin fly, whet curl mite, greenbugs, etc.) nd yield loss from dverse environmentl fctors (freeze, drought, etc.). Producers should select no fewer thn two vrieties to plnt on their frms nd preferbly more, depending upon size, loction, nd purpose of fields. Vriety selection should be bsed upon multiple yers of sound dt produced from university trils nd other relible sources. High yields over multiple yers nd multiple loctions demonstrte vriety s bility to perform well over diverse environmentl fctors. Stble yield performnce of forge is the best vriety selection tool. It is importnt to consider decresing yield over two or three yer time frme, which my reflect chnge in disese nd/or insect resistnce. When selecting vriety for the 205 seson, producers should consider the vribles tht limited yield in the previous growing seson; which my hve hd negtive impct on the results presented in the following pges. We strongly encourge producers to look t multiple yer verges nd to look t numerous relevnt vriety tril loctions.

6 Interpreting the Dt: Forge yield t ech loction hs been nlyzed using pproprite sttisticl procedures. The sttisticl nlysis provides the men, CV, nd LSD vlues. It is importnt to note these sttisticl vlues to prevent misinterprettion of ny replicted dt. The men is nother term for the verge. Therefore, men yield is the verge of ll the plots within tril. Individul vriety yields cn be compred to the men yield to determine how these vrieties performed within the tril (i.e. were they bove or below verge?). This verge cn lso be used s n indiction of the environment for tht loction. A low men yield cn indicte poor growing conditions during the seson; likewise, high yield verge cn indicte fvorble growing conditions. The CV (Coefficient of Vrition) vlue, expressed s percentge, indictes the level of unexplined vribility present within the tril. A high CV vlue indictes considerble vribility existed within the tril not relted to norml vritions tht might be expected between the vrieties in the test. This vribility my be the result from non-uniform stnds, non-uniform insect or disese pressure, vribility in hrvesting, or other issues. Generlly, CV vlues in excess of 25% signify tht there were problems in the tril, leding the reder to question the vlidity of the dt s true representtion of vrietl performnce. The LSD (Lest Significnt Difference) vlue is numeric rnge to help the reder determine if the vrieties performed differently from one nother within the tril. If the LSD vlue is 2 ton/c in tril in which Vriety A yielded 6 ton/c nd Vriety B yielded 3 ton/c, then Vriety A is sid to be significntly better. In tht sme tril with n LSD vlue of 2 ton/c t 0.05 (5%) significnce level, the sttisticl inference one could sy is tht Vriety A would yield better thn Vriety B in 9 out of 20 trils conducted in which there ws t lest 2 ton/c difference in yield. In this hypotheticl comprison, you might hve 20 th tril with 2 ton/c difference tht there is not truly difference between Vriety A nd B, but rndom chnce cused the 2 ton difference. 2

8 204 Texs Region Overview Texs Blcklnds: The Texs Blcklnds hd good growing seson for winter psture compred to much of the rest of the stte. Rinfll throughout both September nd October llowed for sufficient moisture for erly seson growth. Cooler wether nd sufficient rinfll through December enbled the crop to mintin good stnd nd promote fll forge growth. However, colder tempertures throughout the lte winter nd erly spring long with below norml precipittion did not promote much forge growth during this time. An brupt cold snp in erly Mrch burnt bck much of the folige, but plnts were ble to recover. A second freeze in mid-april forced some producers to hrvest whet for forge insted of grin, due to the level of freeze dmge. Insects or diseses were not substntil concern throughout this re during the forge seson, except for isolted pockets of brley yellow dwrf virus. Texs High Plins: Producers in the Texs High Plins struggled this winter with continuing severe drought. Rinfll events were few nd fr between, which did little to get winter crop estblished. Most fields tht were not under irrigtion did not survive the winter due both to wter vilbility nd cold tempertures. Rinfll throughout this region rnged from 4-6 inches ll seson long. Tempertures strted off norml for plnting nd were only slightly below norml for the winter nd spring. Insects nd diseses were not mjor problem in winter pstures in this re. Texs Rolling Plins: The Texs Rolling Plins producers experienced decent yer for winter psture production compred to the previous yers. Erly seson rinfll in September nd October llowed for good seedling emergence if pstures were plnted timely with rinfll; however, the elevted tempertures during this time did not llow the moisture to remin in the upper portion of the soil profile for n extended time. Not unlike mny other res of the stte; both rinfll nd tempertures were below norml during the lte winter nd spring sesons. Rinfll incresed with tempertures lter in April nd erly My. Like the rest of the stte, insects nd diseses were not mjor problem this yer. South Texs: In the southern prt of the stte, winter psture plnting ws chllenge to ccomplish between rinfll events in September; however, sufficient rinfll throughout the reminder of the fll llowed for good emergence nd estblishment. Below norml tempertures nd rinfll during the winter limited forge growth, but these cooler tempertures nd higher rinfll lter in the growing seson significntly incresed spring growth. As with much of the stte, insects nd diseses were not significnt issue throughout the growing seson. 4
