Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Small grain varieties were tested at the Maricopa Agricultural Center as part of the on-going effort to assess variety productivity and characteristics. Barley, durum, and wheat experimental and commercial cultivars were tested. The purpose of the annual tests at Maricopa is to characterize new varieties in a general way in terms of yield potential, relative maturity, quality, and other characteristics. The variety trials at Maricopa do not substitute for localized on-farm testing of new varieties. Varieties are known to differ in their response to specific management regimes and weather conditions. A summary of small grain variety trials conducted by the University of Arizona is available from your local Cooperative Extension Office.
