2013 GRAIN SORGHUM PERFORMANCE TRIALS IN TEXAS
Ronnie Schnell, Dennis Pietsch, Katrina Horn, Jonathan Moreno, W. L. Rooney, and Gary Peterson
Introduction Texas A&M AgriLife Research conducts the grain sorghum performance tests each year to provide growers in Texas with accurate and unbiased information on hybrid performance at locations across the state. Selection of superior hybrids that are well adapted for a given region is essential for maximizing yield and profit. This year, seven irrigated and four non-irrigated test sites were planted in the major production regions of Texas. Major grain sorghum production regions include the Western Gulf Coastal Plain, Southern Texas Plains, East Central Texas Plains, Texas Blackland Prairies and High Plains. Approximate locations of the 2013 test sites are shown in Figure 1. A total of 366 entries were evaluated across 11 locations representing 87 unique hybrids from 12 commercial seed companies. Commercial seed companies enter hybrids into each trial location at their own discretion. Performance trials are conducted by personnel from the Crop Testing Program, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, and financed by fees collected from participating commercial seed companies. Test sites are on privately owned farms or at Texas A&M University AgriLife Research Centers. All entries are randomized and replicated four times at each location. All test sites are managed according to practices common to each production region. Field maps and planting plans can be found at the link below shortly after planting. Following harvest, results are statistically analyzed and made available at: http://varietytesting.tamu.edu/grainsorghum/. Suggestions for Selecting Hybrids and Varieties Variety or hybrid selection is often the first decision a grower must make each crop year. The goal is to identify hybrids with superior performance (top yielding) for your environment. Many environments exist in Texas with significant variation within regions and across years, mostly due to variation in weather. Documented, consistent yield performance within a region is essential for selecting hybrids that will perform well on your farming operation. This means that evaluation of hybrids over multiple locations and years (when possible) is the best way to predict future performance. Exercise caution when using single location data to compare hybrid performance. Following yield performance, other characteristics may be useful for selecting the best hybrid. Maturity or days to flowering may be important for selecting hybrids that are appropriate for your growing season/conditions. Typically mid- and full-season hybrids
1
will respond favorably to additional moisture while early or short season hybrids are designed for dryland production with lower moisture requirements. Selecting the wrong maturity hybrid can result in poor yields in dry environments or the inability of a hybrid to produce higher yields if the moisture profile is favorable. As water becomes more limited, drought tolerance becomes a critical component for production. Most sorghum hybrids possess good levels of pre-flowering drought tolerance, but there is a wide variation for post-flowering drought tolerance, and in most years post flowering drought is more common in Texas. Therefore, producers should ask seed companies for the relative level of post-flowering drought tolerance (or staygreen) their hybrids possess. Producers should realize that plant height and grain yield are correlated and while there are exceptions, taller hybrids generally have higher yield potential. Likewise taller hybrids require greater management, but if they possess good post-flowering drought tolerance (or staygreen) they should have good standability. Finally, variation for grain quality exists in grain sorghum and there are several hybrids that are now used in food grain markets. A list of these hybrids is provided by the National Grain Sorghum Producers (www.sorghumgrowers.com). These hybrids have white or cream-colored grain and straw colored glumes with tan plant color. While these hybrids are not suitable in all regions, in certain environments these hybrids yield comparably to traditional hybrids and may provide additional marketing opportunities.

Field-Plot Techniques Performance trials are conducted at each location using a randomized complete block design with four replications of each entry (hybrid). Seeds for each hybrid are packaged to obtain a final plant population appropriate for each production region and cropping system (see agronomic information for each location). Plots are generally 2 rows wide
3
with row spacing ranging from 30 to 40 inches depending on location. Seeds are packaged to deliver 30 feet of planted row per plot. Seed is planted using a cone planter with John Deere MaxEmerge XP planter units at all sites. Following emergence, two feet of row are trimmed on each side resulting in 26 ft plots and 4 ft alleys. Alleys are maintained free of weeds throughout the growing season through mechanical or chemical control measures. Cultural and agronomic practices adapted for each region are used as determined by the cooperator. Field data such as plant stands, plant height, head exertion, days to 50% flower and percent stand are recorded at the appropriate times. Additional agronomic information such as midge damage and smut ratings are provided when available. All locations are harvested with a John Deere 3300 plot combine equipped with the HarvestMaster Grain Gauge that measures plot weight, test weight, and grain moisture. Field and harvest notes are compiled for each location and results analyzed. Data Analysis and Reporting Data from each location is analyzed statistically using REMLTOOL. Mean values for yield and additional agronomic data are presented in tables for each location. Mean values are derived from the average of all replications for each entry in each trial. Least Significant Difference (LSD) is a statistical test used that determines the minimum difference between two entries required to be considered having different levels of performance. Differences between entries (yield, plant height, etc.) less than the LSD value represents variation measurements due to factors other than hybrid performance, such as variation in soil type, soil moisture, fertility, insect or disease pressure, planting or harvesting procedures. Although numeric differences in yield or other measurements may exist, if two entries are within the LSD value, they should be considered to have equal performance. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is used to determine the amount of variability in the data set relative to the mean and can be used to determine if the results are reliable. Generally, CV’s greater than 20% indicate that the data is unreliable and is not reported. However, each data set is evaluated individually to determine if results will be reported. Within each table, you will find agronomic data submitted by each company for their entries and information measured by the Crop Testing Program. Agronomic information provided by the companies about their hybrids are found in the list below and include items such as cob color, grain color and genetic traits. Agronomic data measured and collected by the Crop Testing program is described in the section below. Agronomic Data as designated by each company:
Grain Color: Y = Yellow, W = White, Cm = Cream, R = Red, Bz = Bronze Plant Color: T = Tan, R = Red, P = Purple.
4
Maturity Class: Early (E), medium-early (ME), medium (M), medium-late (ML), and late (L).
Measured Agronomic Data:
Days to 50% Flowering: the average number of days from planting to the date when 50 percent of the plants within the plot are in some stage of flowering. Plant Height: the average height in inches from ground to tip of the panicle. Head Exertion: the average length in inches from the flag leaf to the base of the panicle. Grain Moisture: the average moisture at harvest as a percent (%). Plant Stand: average of visual ratings of plant stand (0-100%). Desirability: subjective visual rating that takes into account uniformity, general appeal, panicle type, etc. Ratings on a 1 to 10 scale with 1 = very poor and 10 = Excellent.
Test Weight: is a measure of bulk grain density and is determined by the seed weight per unit of volume. This is measured at harvest and expressed as pounds per bushel. Yield : Standardized to 14% moisture: expressed in pounds per acre (lb/acre) and calculated using [((100 – moisture (%) /86) * yield (lb/acre)].
In addition to individual site performance, information on multi-year performance for each site and regional performance is provided. Multi-year tables are presented as 3-year summaries of yield performance data. The entries are ranked according to hybrid performance in the current year. In addition, summaries for regional performance are provided. Regional summaries present the data as average relative yield. Relative yields are calculated for each site by calculating the yield for each hybrid as a percentage of the best performing hybrid. For example, if the hybrid A is the top yielding entry at a particular location with a yield of 7,500 lb/acre and hybrid B yields 6,200 bu/acre, hybrid A would have a relative yield of 100% and hybrid B would have a relative yield of 83%. The relative yields are averaged across all locations for each production region. Average relative yield values less than 90% suggest inconsistent performance. Rainfall Available soil moisture during the growing season is often a limiting factor for sorghum production in Texas. Available moisture will influence decisions on hybrid selection
5
related to maturity and for selection of appropriate seeding rates. Variation in rainfall patterns can be substantial within a production region and from year to year. A significant gradient in annual rainfall exist in Texas moving east to west. Often, it is useful to look at rainfall amounts for a given region based on the water-year. The water-year corresponds with hydrological cycles and runs from October 1 through September 30. In contrast to annual rainfall amounts, water-year analysis includes periods of time when soil profile moisture recharge can occur. The observed water-year and departure from normal (%) are provided in Figures 2 and 3.

2013 Grain Sorghum Performance Test
Note: Relative yields are calculated for each site by calculating the yield for each hybrid as a percentage of the best performing hybrid then averaged across all sites within each production region. Hybrids must be entered at more than
one location to be be included. (F) = full irrigation, (L) = limited Irrigation

COMMENTS: This was the second year a f ull irrigated grain sorghum performance test under the auspices of the Crop Testing Program was conducted at Rio Farms, near Monte Alto, Texas located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. This test was relocated from the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center near Weslaco. The protocol for this test called for no more than two irrigations to be applied to the test block during the growing season. One irrigation was to be applied at the boot stage and the second near the grain fill stage. A final plant population of approximately 90,000-100,000 plants per acre was targeted. This was an excellent test despite very dry conditions during the early part of the season. A fter the soybeans were harvested in the Fall of 2012, the test block was prepared for the grain sorghum test. A pre-plant irrigation was applied to the test block on January 30 to insure a good seedbed for the mid-February planting date. A February 13 planting date was secured. Seed emergence was rapid and good plant stands were attained. The test block received no benef icial rainfall until late-April when a total of 6.8” was received in a s pan of three days. These beneficial rains helped aid plant growth and development and enhanced final yields. Prior to the late-April rains, the test block was irrigated on April 10, which insured continuous plant growth and development and alleviated early plant stress. Due to the timely rainfall in late-April and additional rainfall in May, no additional irrigations were applied. The test mean yield was 7,203 lb/A compared to the past 3-year average of 6,924 lb/A. Two hybrids in the test produced over 8,000 lb/A. Excellent test weights were secured with the range being from 53.4 lb/bu to 59.8 lb/bu, and a t est mean of 58.0 lb/bu. The incidence of lodging and midge damage was low. Bird damage was observed and reported in the yield table. Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Andy Scott, Director of Research, Rio Farms Inc. and Mr. Juan Garza for their assistance in conducting this test. Also, to Mr. Eduardo Hernandez for monitoring the test and collecting flowering notes. For further information about this report or for the Texas AgriLife Research Crop
Testing Program, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX, (979) 845-8505, [email protected]

COMMENTS: T his was the second year a limited irrigated grain sorghum performance test under the auspices of the Crop Testing Program was conducted at Rio Farms, near Monte Alto, Texas located in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. This test was relocated from the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center near Weslaco last year where it had been c onducted for the past 13 years. The protocol for this test called for no more than one irrigation to be applied to the test block during the growing season, preferably near the flowering stage. If an additional irrigation was needed due t o a severe weather event, such as drought, it could be appl ied based on the judgment of the test collaborator. A final plant population of approximately 60,000 plants per acre was targeted. This was an excellent test despite very dry conditions during the early part of the season. A fter the soybeans were harvested in the Fall of 2012, the test block was prepared for the grain sorghum test. A pre-plant irrigation was applied to the test block on January 30 to insure a good seedbed for the mid-February planting date. A February 13 planting date was secured. Seed emergence was rapid and good plant stands were attained. The test block received no benef icial rainfall until late-April when a total of 6.8” was received in a span of three days. These beneficial rains helped aid plant growth and development and enhanced final yields. Prior to the late-April rains, the test block was irrigated on April 10, which insured continuous plant growth and development and alleviated early plant stress. Due to the timely rainfall in late-April and additional rainfall in May, the protocol for this test was followed and no addi tional irrigations were applied. The test mean yield was 6,839 lb/A compared to the past 3-year average of 6,308 lb/A. Three hybrids in the test produced over 8,000 lb/A. Lodging was not a problem in the test. Smut was observed in the test. C ounts were taken from all four replications, averaged, and presented in the yield table. The incidence of bird and m idge damage was very low. Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Andy Scott, Director of Research, Rio Farms Inc. and Mr. Juan Garza for their assistance in conducting this test. Also, to Mr. Eduardo Hernandez for monitoring the test and collecting flowering notes. For further information about this report or for the Texas AgriLife Research Crop
Testing Program, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX, (979) 845-8505, [email protected]

COMMENTS: This site, located in Wharton County, is a major grain sorghum producing area in Texas. C ommercial seed companies use this location to enhance their testing program whereby hybrids can be evaluated for genetic and phenotypic traits. Good yields were attained at this Upper Coast location; however, potential yields were reduced by several rain events at harvest. The season started with ample soil moisture from fall and winter rains. An excellent seedbed was available for the March 12 pl anting date which was 6 days later than the planting date the cooperator used in the rest of the field. It appeared some rows emerged later than others although seeds were planted at the same planter unit depth. Good plant growth and development resulted from a good fertilization program and beneficial rainfall. The number of days to achieve 50% flowering ranged from 78 to 85 days. A lthough this represents only 7 days difference, flowering was not consistent between rows and reps due to seedling emergence. Due to the inconsistent flowering between rows, some plots suffered varying degrees of midge damage. Midge damage was visually scored and presented in the yield table. On July 1, Glyphosate was applied to the test block as a har vest aid. Glyphosate is used as a harvest aid along the Gulf Coast whereby farmers can harvest their crop before tropical storms set in. Unfortunately, two rain events occurred after the Glyphosate was applied to the test, thus lodging occurred in some hybrids. Potential yields were probably affected by the lodging. The test mean yield was 4,571 lb/A. Fourteen hybrids produced between 5,028 lb/A and 5,504 lb/A. Excellent test weights were obtained with the range being from 54.5 lb/bu to 61.5 lb/bu. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

Table 6. AGRONOMIC AND TEST INFORMATION: HONDO TEST: 2013 Dryland Grain Sorghum Performance Test LOCATION: Bryce Britsch Farm, Hondo, Texas COOPERATOR: Bryce Britsch COLLABORATOR: Jason Ott, Medina County CEA SOIL TYPE: Knippa clay ROW WIDTH: 30" PREVIOUS CROP: Corn LAND PREPARATION: Shredded stalks, field cultivated, and field cultivated prior to
planting DATE PLANTED: 3-25-13, planted flat with cones mounted on an Almaco planter
using JD Max-Emerge II units. PLANT POPULATION: Seeds were packaged to obtain a final population of
approximately 80,000 plants/A PLOT LENGTH: 2 rows 26' FERTILIZER: Broadcast 200+80+10+20(S); pre-plant and incorporated HERBICIDE: Applied 20 oz/A of Outlook, pre-emerge RAINFALL: January = 1.61”; February = 0.12”; March = 0.16”; April = 1.92”; May = 3.26”; June = 4.48”; July = 0.64”; August = 0.12”;
Total = 12.31” Data taken from the Hondo Airport near the test block
INSECTICIDE: 1 oz/A of Declare at bloom stage for midge 3.5 oz/A of Mustang for stink bug and head worm control FUNGICIDE: Applied 6 oz/A of Quilt Xcel IRRIGATIONS: 13.75” during the growing season through a lateral irrigation
system DATE HARVESTED: 8-12-13 with JD 3300 plot combine equipped with Grain Gauge SIZE HARVESTED PLOT: 2 rows, 26' long TEST DESIGN: Randomized complete block NUMBER ENTRIES: 37 NUMBER REPLICATIONS: 4 NUMBER ROWS/PLOT: 2

TEST MEAN: 8,488 lb/A; yields corrected to 14% moisture TEST C.V.: 6.71%
COMMENTS: This test located in the Texas Winter Garden Area was moved back to Medina County in 2013 f rom Uvalde County where the test was conducted in 2011 and 2012. Many farmers in this area use a 36” row spacing, however our cooperator used 30” row spacing and irrigated the field using a lateral irrigation system.
Outstanding yields were obtained from this site due to a combination of timely agronomic practices and benef icial rainfall. A pre-plant fertilizer was applied which provided the essential nutrients plants would use throughout the growing season. After planting, a pre-emerge herbicide was applied for weed and grass control. T imely rainfall and i rrigation in April and M ay provided the necessary moisture for continuous plant growth and development. F lowering notes were secured at the proper time, however due t o unexplainable reasons, erratic flowering was observed between rows and replications within the test block. Timely applications of insecticides provided excellent control of midge, stink bug, and head worms. A fungicide was applied to aid in the control of foliar leaf diseases. The test mean yield was 8,488 lb/A. Six hybrids produced over 9,000 lb/A. Outstanding bushel weights were recorded with the mean being 61.15 lb/bu. This was a very uniform test as reflected by the test C.V. of 6.71%. **** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: This test site, conducted on the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Farm near College Station, is designated as a limited irrigated grain sorghum test. The protocol for this site calls for no more than two irrigations to be applied to the test throughout the growing season. The sorghum yield trial was planted on March 18 into a good soil moisture profile. Soil temperature at the time of planting was about 60F. Timely agronomic practices were implemented during the growing season. Beneficial rains in April, May, and J une resulted in continuous plant growth and development. Due to the timely rains, the test block was not irrigated. R ain in July was limited and post-flowering drought stress occurred throughout the test. A Leaf Plant Death Rating was taken prior to harvest from all replications. The rating is presented in the yield table. The test mean yield was 5,904 lb/A compared to 6,855 lb/in 2012. Three hybrids produced between 7,023 lb/A and 7 ,642 lb/A. Lodging was observed in the test and rating presented in t he yield table. A desirability rating was also obtained. Good bushel weights were secured with the mean being 57.8 lb/bu. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

2013 Grain Sorghum Performance Test
Note: Relative yields are calculated for each site by calculating the yield for each hybrid as a percentage of the best performing hybrid then averaged across all sites within each
production region. Hybrids must be entered at more than one location to be be included. (F) = full irrigation, (L) = limited Irrigation

Table 8. AGRONOMIC AND TEST INFORMATION: THRALL TEST: 2013 Rain-fed Grain Sorghum Performance Test LOCATION: Stiles Farm Foundation, Thrall, Texas COOPERATOR: Archie Abrameit SOIL TYPE: Burleson clay ROW WIDTH: 38" PREVIOUS CROP: Corn LAND PREPARATION: The test block was strip-tilled on 12-4-12 DATE PLANTED: 3-14-13: planted flat with cones mounted on an ALMACO planter
using JD Max-Emerge II units PLOT LENGTH: 26' FERTILIZER: 130+12+24, pre-plant HERBICIDE: Broadcast tank mix of 26 oz/A Roundup PowerMAX as a burn-
down prior to planting Applied 1.3 pt/A of Parallel + .75 lb/A Atrazine, pre-emerge INSECTICIDE: None, seeds were required to be treated with a seed insecticide RAINFALL January = 4.15"; February = 0.38"; March = 2.58"; April = 2.15",
May = 3.07"; June = 0.0”; July = 3.72"; August = 1.03” Total = 17.08"
DATE HARVESTED: 8-8-13 with a JD3300 plot combine equipped with Grain Gauge. SIZE HARVESTED PLOT: 2 rows, 26' long TEST DESIGN: Randomized complete block NUMBER ENTRIES: 44 NUMBER REPLICATIONS: 4 NUMBER ROWS/PLOT: 2 MEAN PLANT POP: Seeds were packaged to obtain a final plant population of 75,000
plants/A TEST MEAN: 4,823 lb/A; yields corrected to 14% moisture TEST C.V.: 10.99%

COMMENTS: Excellent yields were attained at this site despite erratic soil moisture conditions. The season started with a full profile of moisture from early season rainfall. A total of 18.35” of rainfall was recorded between January and March. Due to wet soil conditions, planting was delayed until March 26 which is approximately 3 weeks later than the optimum planting date. Excellent plant growth and development resulted from available soil moisture and nutrients. The test block received no beneficial rains after planting until mid-May. Due to the excellent growing conditions, the number of days to achieve 50% flowering ranged between 61 and 68 days. T he test block received no beneficial rainfall in June during the grain-fill stage, however, good yields were still attained. The test mean yield was 4,790 lb/A with 14 hybrids producing between 5,006 lb/A and 5,643 lb/A. Due to severe drought conditions in 2011 no r esults were published. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

Table 9. AGRONOMIC AND TEST INFORMATION: FARMERSVILLE TEST: 2013 Rain-fed Grain Sorghum Performance Test LOCATION: Kenneth Wright Farm, Farmersville, Texas COLLABORATOR: Russell Sutton SOIL TYPE: Houston black clay ROW WIDTH: 30" PREVIOUS CROP: Wheat LAND PREPARATION: Sprayed Roundup + Valor as a burn-down DATE PLANTED: 3-19-13: Planted flat with a belt cone planter mounted on JD
Max-Emerge 2 Units. PLOT LENGTH: 25.5' FERTILIZER: Applied at planting 6.5 gal/A of 10+34+0 (7.5 lb/A N + 25 lb/A P)
+ 1.0 qt/A Zn in-furrow Side-dressed 42 gal/A of 32+0+0 at lay-by (150 lb/A N) HERBICIDE: Applied 1.0 qt/A of Atrazine at planting Applied 1 pt/A of Clarity at layby INSECTICIDE: None, seeds were required to be treated with a seed insecticide RAINFALL: Rainfall was not recorded at the test block; however, according to
Mr. Sutton, the test block received timely and beneficial rains until late-June, then turned dry.
DATE HARVESTED: 8-22-13 with a JD 3300 plot combine equipped with Grain Gauge SIZE HARVESTED PLOT: 2 rows, 25.5' long TEST DESIGN: Randomized complete block NUMBER ENTRIES: 34 NUMBER REPLICATIONS: 4 NUMBER ROWS/PLOT: 2 PLANT POPULATION: Seeds were packaged to obtain a final plant population of
approximately 65,000 plants per acre TEST MEAN: 6,106 lb/A; yields corrected to 14% moisture TEST C.V.: 6.96%
56
COMMENTS: Excellent yields were attained at this northern Blacklands test site. The season started with a full profile of moisture from fall and winter rains. The optimum planting date was delayed approximately two weeks due t o wet soil conditions. Seedling emergence was rapid and early plant growth resulted from a good fertilization program and addi tional rainfall. W eeds and g rasses were controlled with a post-plant application of Atrazine + Clarity. Good moisture conditions during the early part of the growing season and timely rainfall resulted in good yields at this site. P otential yields were probably reduced due to lack of beneficial rains and hot temperatures after flowering. The test mean yield was 6,109 lb/A compared to 6,413 lb/A in 2012. Four hybrids produced over 7,000 lb/A. Outstanding test weights were obtained with the range being from 57.5 lb/bu to 62.4 lb/bu. Lodging was observed in the test, but the incidence was very low. This was a uniform test as reflected by the C.V. of 6.96%. Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Russell Sutton for providing agronomic practices, monitoring the test, and s ecuring notes throughout the growing season. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu

COMMENTS: This excellent test was subjected to near normal temperature and growing season precipitation. T he test area was pre-irrigated and pl anted on May 20 into an excellent seed bed. The field received one pre-plant and one post-plant irrigation (about 30 days after planting). Normal irrigation protocol is for a s econd post-plant irrigation approximately 60 days after planting but due to July rainfall of 3.41” the second irrigation was not applied. Excellent yields (test mean of 5,701 lbs/A, CV of 9.85) were obtained. Thirteen hybrids produced in excess of 6,000 lbs/A. The test received excellent agronomic care. There was no w eed, disease or insect pressure in the test. A fter flowering flash tape was deployed in the test area. Bird damage was observed on only three entries, all early maturing. All plots (17’ gross length) were harvested on October 2 with a John Deere 3300 plot combine. Grain yield were adjusted to 14% moisture.

Table 11. AGRONOMIC AND TEST INFORMATION: HEREFORD
TEST: 2013 Irrigated Grain Sorghum Performance Test LOCATION: Greg Urbanczyk Farm, Hereford, Texas COOPERATOR: Greg Urbanczyk COLLABORATOR: Rick Auckerman SOIL TYPE: Pullman clay loam ROW WIDTH: 30" PREVIOUS CROP: Dryland wheat DATE PLANTED: 5-29-13 with cones mounted on an Almaco planter using JD
Max-Emerge II units. PLANT POPULATION: Seed were packaged to plant a population of 70,000 plants/A PLOT LENGTH: 26’ FERTILIZER: 6-24-13: Broadcast 300 lb/A of.21+0+0+24 HERBICIDE: 13 oz/A of Huskie + 1.3 pts/A Dual + and 1 lb/A of Atrazine + 1
qt/A of Ag Pro applied at the end of June. INSECTICIDE: None, seeds were required to be treated with a seed insecticide RAINFALL: 13.8” of rain from late- May to late- August IRRIGATIONS: A pre-plant application of 4.5” was applied prior to planting
Furrow irrigated 5 times during the growing season totaling 12.5” DATE HARVESTED: 10-9-13 SIZE HARVESTED PLOT: 2 rows, 26 feet long TEST DESIGN: Randomized complete block. NUMBER ENTRIES: 32 NUMBER REPLICATIONS: 4 NUMBER ROWS/PLOT: 2 TEST MEAN: 7,551 lb/A; yields corrected to 14% moisture TEST C.V.: 11.88%

COMMENTS: An optimum planting date, good agronomic practices, along with beneficial and t imely rainfall were contributing factors that resulted in excellent yields at this site. The test block was planted on May 29 into a well prepared seedbed. Seedling emergence was rapid and ear ly plant growth and development resulted from a pre-plant irrigation applied prior to planting. Continuous plant growth and development resulted from moisture obtained by timely rains in May and June and a good irrigation schedule. Fertility for the test block was determined after the cooperator submitted a soil sample prior to planting. Essential plant nutrients were supplied by broadcasting a post-plant fertilizer. A tank mix herbicide provided good weed control; however, hand-weeding was required to eliminate weeds which emerged late in the season. Due to excellent moisture conditions and w arm temperatures, the number of days to attain 50% flowering ranged from 59 to 72 days. Additional moisture at grain fill contributed to excellent yields and test weights. The test mean yield was 7,551 lb/a compared to the past 2-year average of 6,193 lb/A. T hree hybrids produced between 9,019 lb/A and 9, 072 lb/A. The mean test weight was 59.8 lb/bu with the range being from 55.8 lb/bu to 61.5 lb/bu. Lodging was observed in the test block due to late-season stalk rot. Bird damage was not observed in the test block. A combination of flash tape and scare eyes were used as bird deterrents and did an effective job. Appreciation is expressed to Rick Auckerman, CEA Deaf Smith County, for monitoring the test block and securing the flowering notes at the appropriate time. *** For further information about this report, contact Mr. Dennis Pietsch, Crop Testing Director, Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, TX (979) 845-8505, [email protected] Please visit the Crop Testing web page at http://varietytesting.tamu.edu
