Description

Successful crop production depends to a large degree on selecting the best varieties for a particular area. This publication contains variety recommendations, descriptions, and yield data for small grains. Important factors in variety selection include yield, yield stability, maturity, straw strength, height, test weight, quality, and disease resistance. Yield is an important factor; however, a variety with good disease resistance, straw strength, and high grain quality may be more profitable for the producer in some instances than the highest yielding variety. Disease resistance information is based on reactions to present and prevalent races of a disease. Disease resistance is not absolute and may change as new races of a disease develop over time.
