F. Hensleigh, Barley Research Assoc., Bozeman, MT G. L. Sharp, Research Associate, Moccasin, MT J. Vavrovsky, Research Specialist, Moccasin, MT OBJECTIVES: To evaluate agronomic performance of new experimental lines and existing barley varieties in central Montana. RESULTS: Intrastate Trial The Intrastate barley yield trial was harvested when much of the grain had 15% or higher moisture. Yields ranged from 56.4 bu/a for MT down to 35.6 bu/a for Haybet (Table 40). Barley lines MT and MT (Hays), which are to be available to seed growers in 2004, yielded 50.5 and 49.3 bu/a, respectively. Baronesse, the current standard for high yield, produced 49.8 bu/a. Merit had the lowest test weight. Mean protein content was 14.5 %. Multi-year yield, test weight, plant height, plump kernels, and protein content are presented in tables 41-45, respectively. Early Yield Trial The early yield trial was harvested on August 12 when the grain was well ripe. Yield range was tighter for the early yield trial than the yield range found in the intrastate nursery (Table 46). A few of the test lines had test weights greater than 50 lbs/bu while five had test weights of 47.6 lbs/bu or less. Protein data was not presented here. Malt Barley Evaluations- The malt barley trial has not been conducted at Moccasin in recent years because we seldom make malt quality barley on station. However, several area producers are interested in producing malt regularly. The potential of building malt plants in the area further increases the importance of malt barley variety evaluations at CARC. Gallatin, the yield check, ranked high for both yield and test weight (Table 47). Garnett, an Idaho malt barley, had the top rank for percent plump kernels. SUMMARY: 2002 turned out to be a fairly good barley year. Yields were not outstanding, but test weight and percent plump seed were better than anticipated for the dry weather experienced in mid-spring. FUTURE PLANS: The Intrastate Trial and Early Yield Trial will continue to be evaluated at the Central Agricultural Research Center. The future of the malt barley variety evaluation is uncertain. C48
