The
primary
objective
was
to
evaluate
crops
which
could
be
used
for
non-compliance
cropping
managements.
Considerations
are
also
being
given
to
production
costs,
feasibility
of
utilization
for
grain
production.
To
evaluate
speltz
and
triticale
varieties
and
selections
for
maximum
yield
and
quality
(protein).
SUMMARY
AND
RESULTS;
5
total
ot
10
separate
trials
on
alternate
cereal
crops,
8
dryland
and
two
irrigated
were
conducted
at
SARC
in
1988.
The
dryland
trials
consisted
of
winter
barley,
spring
and
winter
speltz,
and
spring
and
winter
triticales,
and
soft
white
winter
wheat.
Due
to
the
drought
conditions,
the
yields
of
trials
were
quite
low,
and
we
will
present
data
on
2
of
the
dryland
trials.
Irrigated
dwarf
oat
trial;
Several
promising
dwarf
oat
varieties
were
compared
to
Monlda
and
Otana
for
yield
and
test
weight.
The
results
show
that
the
dwarf
oat
selections
produced
yields
and
test
weights
equal
to
a
greater
than
the
check
varieties.
The
advantage
of
the
dwarf
varieties
is
that
they
will
not
lodge
under
irrigation
management.
Irrigated
spring
triticale
trial;
PLEASE
data
are
given
in
CwT/Acre.
Thirteen
triticalt
NOTE
the
yield
e
varieties
were
compared
to
Newana
spring
wheat
(used
as
a
check
variety).
With
the
exception
of
two
varieties
(which
were
later
found
to
be
winter
types)
the
triticale
selections
yielded
equal
to
the
spring
wheat
check
with
slightly
lower
test
weights
(typical
of
triticale)
and
maturity
dates.
Many
of
the
triticale
selections
were^
significantly
taller
than
Newana,
which
could
result
in
lodging
problems.
However,
most
triticale
selections
appeared
to
have
exceptional
strong
straw
strength.
Soft
white
winter
wheat,
dryland;
Data
are
given
in
table
3.
Results
show
that
under
drought
^conditions
several
of
the
soft
white
winter
wheats
out
yielded
the
hard
red
winter
wheat
varieties,
eg
Tiber
and
Neely,
and
produced
yields
equal
to
Redwin.
Winter
barley^
dryland;
All
winter
barley
varieties
produced
lower
yields
than
the
hard
red
winter
wheat
check.
Rocky.
Also,
a
consistant
problem
with
the
winter
barley
selections
presently
available
are
the
low
test
weights,
which
are
often
rejected
by
the
cattle
feeder
industry.
