1963 Grain Sorghum Performance Trials

Varieties of grain sorghum being grown by farmers, new varieties not yet widely used, and new strains being considered for release were eligible for entry in the 1963 Grain Sorghum Performance Trials conducted at nine locations in South Dakota during 1963. The trials were under supervision of the Crop Performance Testing Activity of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Grain yields, test weights and other useful agronomic data are reported

1962 Small Grain Variety Trials

This pamphlet reports the performance of spring small grain trials harvested in 1962. The testing of standard or newly released varieties of spring and durum wheat, oats, barley, and flax was under the supervision of the Crop Performance Testing Activity of Statewide Services, Agricultural Experiment Station in 1962. Data reported are the acre grain yields, tests weights and five-year averages where available. Tests by the plant breeders also are conducted at Brookings and most of the sub-stations. Promising strains or selections of their material are entered in Standard Variety Trials to determine adaptability and performance of the material before their release and recommendation to farmers and ranchers

1969 Small Grain Variety Trials

Variety tests with small grains are conducted annually at selected sites throughout South Dakota. The 1969 trials included varieties currently grown by farmers, newer releases not yet widely used, and experimental strains being evaluated for possible release. Reported in this circular are grain yields, test weights, available five-year averages and other supplemental data. The trials were conducted under supervision of the Crop Performance Testing Activity, Agricultural Experiment Station

1963 Corn Performance Trials

The trials reported herein have been conducted under the supervision of the Crop Performance Activity, Agricultural Experiment Station since 1961. The performance records of corn hybrids harvested in 1963 are reported and two-and three year averages of yield and moisture content are also included where available. The primary purpose of the tests is to supply farmers and those associated with agriculture with information on the relative performance of the hybrids entered, when grown under similar environmental conditions. Data included are acre grain yield, moisture percentage of ear corn at harvest, performance score and related agronomic data. When choosing hybrids for use in this state one should refer to the trials conducted nearest the area in which the hybrid is to be planted

1967 Corn Performance Trials

The primary purpose is to supply interested individuals with information on the relative performance of the hybrids entered, when grown under similar environmental conditions. Information In the accompanying tables includes acre grain yields in bushels, moisture percentages of either ear or she I led corn when harvested, performance scores and other related information. Records of performance of the corn hybrids harvested in 1967 as well as two-, three-, four-, and five-year averages of yield and moisture percentages are presented where available. The trials reported in this circular have been conducted under the Agronomy program in Crop Performance Testing, Agricultural Experiment Station

1980 Corn Performance Trials

The relative performance of corn hybrids grown in 1980 under similar environmental conditions are evaluated in this report. Information in the accompanying tables includes grain yields in bushels per acre, moisture percentages of either ear corn or shelled corn at harvest, performance scores and other related information. Records of the corn hybrids harvested in 1980 and available two-, three-, and four-year averages of yield, moisture and stalk lodging percentages are also presented. The trials reported were conducted under the Plant Science Department program in Crop Performance Testing, Agricultural Experiment Station, SDSU

1968 Grain Sorghum Performance Trials

The primary purpose is to supply interested individuals with information on the relative performance of the hybrids entered when grown under similar environmental conditions. Records of performance of the hybrids harvested in 1968 and available two-, three-, four-, and five-year averages are presented. The trials reported in the circular have been under the supervision of the Crop Performance Testing Activity, Agricultural Experiment Station

1980 Grain Sorghum Performance Trials

The relative performance of grain sorghum cultivars grown under similar environmental conditions is evaluated in this report for the 1980 crop season. Performance records of all entries harvested in 1980 and available two through five-year averages are presented. The trials were conducted under the Plant Science Department program in Crop Performance Testing, Agricultural Experiment Station, South Dakota State University

1965 Small Grain Variety Trials

Varieties of small grains currently grown by farmers, newer releases not widely in use, and experimental strains being evaluated for possible limited release were in the performance trials during 19650 Wet spring conditions limited the number of locations to only six. The trials were under the supervision of the Crop Performance Testing Activity, Agricultural Experiment Station. Grain yields, test weights, available five-year averages and selected agronomic data are reported in this circular

1979 Corn Performance Trials

The relative performance of corn hybrids grown in 1979 under similar environmental conditions are evaluated in this report. Information in the accompanying tables includes grain yields in bushels per acre, moisture percentages of either ear corn or shelled corn at harvest, performance scores and other related information. Records of the corn hybrids harvested in 1979 and available two-, three-, and four-year averages of yield, moisture and stalk lodging percentages are also presented. The trials reported were conducted under the Plant Science Department program in Crop Performance Testing, Agricultural Experiment Station, South Dakota State University
