4 1 PERFORMANCE OF SOYBEANS AND COTTON IN NORTH CAROLINA INTRODUCTION with the large number of commercially available and prospective hybrids and varieties of soybeans and cotton, it becomes difficult for growers to select a superior variety suited for their particular area of the state and their individual farming operations. To make this decision, the growers need up-to-date, unbiased, reliable information. The Official Variety Testing Program, through this report, seeks to provide that type of information.1 The first section of this report is concerned with soybeans and the second section deals with cotton. Both sections are complete in that they contain information on experimental procedure, location of the tests (Figure 1), a discussion of the data for 1994,2 as well as summary tables for the past two and three years. IThe Official Variety Testing Program recognizes the cooperative spirit and civic-minded service rendered by the farmers who have furnished, prepared, and cultivated the land for these trials. Research technicians, Dwight Parrish, Ken Barnes, Johnny Denton, Tracy Wadsworth, and Mark Langdon assisted in conducting these tests. Carey Parsons prepared the text for this bulletin. 2Statistical analyses were made in the statistical Laboratory and Computing Center by Mrs. Sandra Donaghy and Mrs. Joy Smith.

5 2 It is hoped that the organization of this bulletin will provide data in a complete form to those interested in these two crops. Growers are cautioned against making varietal selection decisions based on an individual location in anyone year. True varietal performance may have been masked by the unusual weather conditions experienced at anyone location or anyone growing season. Comparing Hybrids and Varieties Performance of a hybrid or variety cannot be tested with absolute precision. Although the tests are conducted in a uniform manner, as much as possible, uncontrollable variability exists among experimental plots due to soil type, fertility, moisture, insects, diseases, and other sources of variation. Because this variability exists, statistics are used as a tool to determine differences among hybrids and varieties. The size of difference among hybrids or varieties which may have been due to chance variation is listed in each table as the L.S.D. (least significant difference) and those hybrids or varieties which do not differ by more than the L.S.D. are statistically not different. Those hybrids or varieties that do differ by more than the L.S.D. are statistically different. The Bayes L.S.D. at the K-ratio of 50 (approximately.10 level of probability) was used. The coefficient of variability (C.V.) is listed as a general indicator of population variability; it does not, however, always indicate level of precision. The coefficient of determination (R 2 )

6 3 is a better measure of the level of precision because it indicates the amount of variation accounted for in the trial. The higher the R 2 value the more precise the trial. Thus, relative precision among various trials can be compared. The standard error of the mean (s.e.) is also listed as a general indicator of precision since it reveals how well the true mean was estimated. The formula for the s.e. is the square root of the error variance divided by the square root of the number of replications. The error degrees of freedom (Error d.f.) used to test varieties or hybrids is listed along with the mean of the test. Hybrid or varietal performance may appear inconsistent among locations within an area or among years in a particular area, thus it is important for the reader to examine results from more than one location or more than one year at a particular location to obtain a more accurate picture of relative hybrid or varietal performance. An effort has been made to facilitate comparisons among locations and across years in this report. The hybrids or varieties which do not yield significantly less than the highest yielder are denoted by an asterisk(*) next to their yields; the highest yielder is denoted by a double asterisk (**) next to its yield. The relative performance of a hybrid or variety across locations within an area can be easily evaluated by going across the table; those hybrids or varieties which are most frequently marked by an asterisk would be highly desirable. Other agronomic characteristics may be as equally important as yield.

7 4 It is suggested that the grower plant a small number of acres in a new variety or hybrid when first determining if it is adapted to his farm. Research conducted at North Carolina state University and several other universities has consistently shown a significant yield advantage where professionally grown/certified seed is used rather than "farmer saved" or "brown bagged" seed. These tests were planted with professionally grown/certified seed provided by the sponsoring agencies. Farmers who use inferior seed sources can expect accompanying decreases in performance.

State Responsible for Development variety South Carolina Tennessee Virginia Hagood, Maxcy, Dillon TN 4-94, TN 4-86, TN 5-92, TN 6-90, TN 5-95 Chesapeake, Hutcheson Test Locations: Five full season tests were located in the Coastal Plain with one in the Piedmont; two late-planted tests were located also in the Coastal Plain and one in the Piedmont. The Union county test was discarded due to poor stands. The late-planted test at Lenoir county was also discarded due to poor stands. Data were collected on yield, moisture, lodging, pod maturity, and plant height. Yields were calculated on plot weight and adjusted to 14% moisture. Lodging was scored on a scale of 1-5 with "1" being no lodging and "5" being completely lodged before harvest; this does not necessarily reflect harvest loss. Plant height was determined by measuring from the ground to the top of the plant prior to harvest. Pod maturity date is the date when 95% of the pods turn brown; soybeans should be ready to harvest 10 days after this date given optimum harvest conditions. The pod maturity data were taken at Johnston county where the soybeans were planted on June 27; those entries with no pod maturity data were inadvertently left out when planted at Johnston county.

15 Seasonal Conditions: 12 Soybean planting was slightly later than normal for all full-season tests (Table 3). Rainfall was below normal at some locations in May and June and contributed to poor stands at union county. Contrary to the 1993 season which experienced abovenormal temperatures, temperatures in 1994 were typical throughout the season. Rainfall data from several test sites are shown: Rainfall - (Inches)t Location Hay June July August September Bertie Columbus Edgecombe Lenoir Rowan Washington tbertie county received 1.65" of irrigation in August and September. Results: Early-Planted Soybeans Group IV soybeans were tested at Washington county and these data are shown in Tables This group is subdivided into early group IV soybeans (Tables 5-7) and late group IV soybeans (Tables 8-10). The Group IV test at Union county was discarded due to poor stands. Pod maturity data are included on all tables covering multilocation data. Cyst nematodes were discovered in the field at Lenoir county after planting. Although there were no visible symptoms of nematode injury throughout the season, the top-yielding varieties in all three maturity groups (V, VII, and VII-VIII) were all resistant to race 3 of the cyst nematode. Therefore these data from Lenoir county are

16 13 reported in separate tables and are not included in the three-year, two-year and, one-year tables. Data for the early-maturing soybeans (Group V) are found in Tables MUltiyear data by location are included in Tables The medium-maturity (Group VI) and late-maturity (Groups VII & VIII) data are shown in Tables The late-maturity trials at Edgecombe and Washington counties were discarded due to poor precision. Late-Planted Soybeans Tables show data from the two late-planted locations. Groups VI and VII were discarded at Rowan county due to poor precision (uneven stands were evident). Pod maturity data were collected for both early-planted and late-planted entries at one location (Johnston county) at one planting date (June 27). Agronomic information not found in tables listed previously for varieties available to growers, some may not be in the OVT, is shown in Table 42. This information is supplied by Dr. James Dunphy, North Carolina state University.
