OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of experimental lines and named varieties of barley,
durum, and spring wheat for re-crop condition in eastern Montana.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Location: EARC dryland farm
Soil type: Williams Clay Loam
Previous crop: pea in 2017 - small grain in 2016
RESULTS:
Agronomic data are shown in Table 6-8. Yield and test weight were adjusted to 12% moisture content.
Table 6. 2018 barley yield, protein, and plump at EARC under dryland re-crop condition.
