Small Grain Variety Trials, Safford Agricultural Center, 1999

Abstract

Small plot replicate trials were established to test thirteen durum wheat varieties, nine varieties of bread/feed wheat, and five varieties of barley. Trump was the leading durum wheat variety with a yield of 3470 pounds per acre. Stander, a variety from Resources Seeds Intl in California, was the top producing wheat variety with a yield of 5780 pounds per acre and Max produced the highest barley yield with 5792 pounds per acre. Except for the durum varieties, most varieties in the study produced reasonable yields in 1999.
