Bill Bruening, Kolter Kalberg, Eugene Lacefield, Claire Venard | November 7, 2011 (New)

The Kentucky Soybean Variety Performance Tests are conducted to provide an unbiased, objective estimate of the relative performance of soybean varieties in Kentucky. This information may be used by growers and seed producers to aid in selecting varieties that will give the highest total production in a specific situation. Soybean cultivars were entered by soybean growers, commercial companies, and state and federal institutions.

Bill Bruening, John Connelly, Gene Olson, Sandy Swanson, Charles Tutt, Dave Sanford | July 7, 2011 (New)

The objective of the Kentucky small grain variety performance test is to evaluate varieties of wheat, oat and barley that are commercially available or may soon be available to Kentucky farmers. New varieties are continually being developed by agricultural experiment stations and commercial firms. Annual evaluation of small grain varieties and selections provides farmers, seed producers, and other agricultural workers with current information to help them select the varieties best adapted to their locality and individual requirements.

PR-619: 2010 Summer Annual Grass Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Ray Smith | January 3, 2011 (New)

Summer annual grasses provide an important forage crop option for producers in Kentucky. These grasses are mainly used as emergency or supplemental hay and pasture crops, but little information is available on their yield potential. The purpose of this publication is to summarize the University of Kentucky 2007-2010 forage yield trials with sudangrass, sorghum/sudangrass, millets, and teff.

PR-617: 2010 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Eric Vanzant | January 3, 2011 (New)

Cool-season grasses such as tall fescue and orchardgrass are the primary pasture grasses in Kentucky. Other species such as perennial ryegrass, festulolium, and prairie brome can be used in pasture systems.
