1 Section 2: Wheat Varieties Wheat tests were planted in seven-inch rows at Blackstone, Orange, Holland, Painter, and Shenandoah Valley. They were planted in six-inch rows at Warsaw and Blacksburg. They were planted in seven-and-one-half-inch rows at the Warsaw no-till location. All no-till locations (Holland and Warsaw no-till) were planted at 28 seeds per row foot. All other locations were planted at 22 seeds per row foot. When evaluating wheat variety performance as presented in this report, one should consider the use of seed treatment. Certain entries in this test have different seed treatments that may greatly impact performance. Seed treatments are indicated by an acronym in parentheses following the name. B is Baytan, D is Dividend, R is raxil, and T is thiram. For example, USG3209 (RT) indicates that this entry was treated with raxil and thiram. Virginia Tech experimental lines and some public varieties such as Massey were treated with raxil and thiram. Selecting the best wheat varieties is challenging but becomes easier with adequate information on performance over multiple environments. Past seasons across Virginia have provided the opportunity to evaluate day-length sensitivity, spring freeze damage, glume blotch, scab (Fusarium head blight), and general plant health. Many newer wheat varieties and lines performed well in all environments tested. The future for wheat varieties adapted to Virginia conditions is very positive. Carl Griffey, Virginia Tech s small grains breeder, has many lines starting with VA shown in the by-location tables that are in the top-yielding group and that display good disease resistance. The released varieties that yielded significantly higher than the statewide mean in 2007 were USG 3665, Branson, Tribute, and USG Tribute had mean test weight that was also significantly higher than the test mean. The 2007 season favored later maturing varieties in general. weights overall were down slightly from 2006 but still averaged nearly 60 pounds per bushel. This is likely the result of warm winter temperatures, spring freeze damage, and the longer grain-fill period in the later maturing varieties. Producers who grow large acreages of wheat should plant two or more varieties having significantly different maturity dates in order to ensure a harvest of high-quality grain having high test weight and no sprouting. In Virginia, it is typical that the first good week of wheat harvest is followed by a period of sporadic or consistent rain showers, which delay subsequent harvest and significantly reduce grain test weight and quality. Growers can circumvent this problem by planting varieties that differ significantly in maturity wherein early maturing varieties often can be harvested first and prior to significant rain showers, and later maturing varieties harvested subsequently will suffer less damage and losses in test weight and quality due to exposure to such a rain event. Varieties with three-year average yields higher than the statewide average include SS MPV 57, USG 3209, Pioneer Brand 26R24, and SS 560. USG 3665 displayed above average yields across two years. Small Grains in 2007 Two locations in , Warsaw no-till and Holland, were planted no-till following corn. Individual sites are reported similar to other testing locations. These sites are also included in the overall yearly average. A table averaging performance of varieties only at these no-till sites is also included for reference. In general, the top performing lines in this over-location no-till summary were the same as those in the top-yielding group of the overall summary table.
